Question

can i get help with restrictions on this variable of equation :-

(x^2-12/x^2+5x+6) / (x^2+5x+4 / x^2-2x-8)

Answer 1

I'll give it a shot if no one else helps and if you remind me what restrictions are

Answer 2

when denominator can equal 0...........

Answer 3

which values give denominator equal 0.....?

Answer 4

X^2+5x+6=0
Is one of three expressions we will have to solve to find out the divide by zeros.
Can you spot the remaining 2 expressions?

Answer 5

x^2+5x+4 and x^2-2x-8.........??

Answer 6

If we replace each expression with a b c and d, like this, (a/b)/(c/d)
Do you see how b, c and d would all need to be checked for divide by zero?

Answer 7

so will it be -4, -3, -2, -1......??

Answer 8

Correct!

Now set each of those 3 expressions equal to zero and solve for x

Answer 9

does this set also include 4?

Answer 10

Here is what I get for each of the three expressions, starring with the one the spot of 'b'

-2, -3
-1, -4
4, -2
