is DNE ~ funny
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Does not exist
OpenStudy (adamaero):
So you found all those values on your calculator aproaching 3.75 and you think it DNE?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No neccesarily. I saw that for my 3.0 values that they were decreasing and my cal teacher didn't really tell us what to classify it as.

And my 2.9 values increasing
OpenStudy (adamaero):
Ya, there's an asymptote at 3.75
OpenStudy (adamaero):
To solve this problem you will need to factor the top and bottom, and cancel what is the same on top/bottom
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok thanks
OpenStudy (adamaero):

For the actual numerical I got 0/2 which is zero .

After factoring everything
OpenStudy (adamaero):
(x - 3)(? ? ?)
----------
(x+1)(x-3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh. But the top still equals 0
OpenStudy (adamaero):
