Can you find any values of x that make the function undefined right away?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

1?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

wait i confused

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

How does 1 make it undefined??

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

oh no its 0

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Good!

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

is it D?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That's not what I get. Can you eliminate any answers knowing that x does not equal 0?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

A

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Good :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Now let's think about needing what is under the radical to be positive.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That means 6x^2>0 and 4x>0

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Being greater than zero is the same thing as being positive.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Can you solve for the x values?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

\[\sqrt{3x}/\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

solving it your saying? @JoannaBlackwelder

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

How do you get that?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I meant solving these: 6x^2>0 and 4x>0

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

o

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Don't simplify the original fraction. You may get rid of some of your undefined areas.

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

ok

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

:)

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

can you help me solve it

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

please?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sure. 6x^2>0 Divide both sides by zero. x^2>0 x^2 is always greater than zero, so this one doesn't give us any restrictions.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Make sense?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

*Divide both sides by 6

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

typo, sorry

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

yes it makes sense.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Now for 4x>0 Can you solve this one?

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

x?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

How did the inequality become an expression?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Or how did you drop the greater than sign?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

To solve for x, divide both sides by 4. Leaving you with x>0

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

yea that what i meant.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok :)

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

B!!!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yay! :)

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

xD got it right :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think you need to brush up on your solving inequalities skills :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Great!

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

\[LOL JK\]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I'm just saying that these problems will be much easier if you practice solving inequalities first :D

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

o ok, i thought baby was right :0

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

i was just messing wiht u lol

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

hehe

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

HEHEHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
