How do you find the Domain and range

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

of??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^{2} + x -2 }{ x^{2} -3x -4 }\]

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Do you know what domains and ranges are??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the domain is the x value and the range is the y value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly do you mean by the value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in the coordinate pair (2,3) the domain in 2 and the range is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, how do i find it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a problem/question you need to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, the one I gave above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok the one that you are dividing the polynomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what is \[x^2/x^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now what is x/-3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not exactly, i don't remember how i would even solve that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what you have to do is divide \[x/-3x\] and you will have to cancel out the x's to get 1/3 for that part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that will be \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] and will i do the same for\[\frac{ -2 }{ 4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i would end up with this \[1 +\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would I do after this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify and answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I know this is way back but how would I simplify fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u dont mind what grade r u in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how you simplify fractions is you have to find the GCFf of the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean LCM AND THEN MAKE A PROPORTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im sorry for going back to simplifying fractions. The LCM is 6 and if i remember it right don't I multiple the numerator and then add the two equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes u r correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and I'll end up with \[1\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]
