Help? Will fan and medal When looking at a rational function, Bella and Edward have two different thoughts. Bella says that the function is defined at x = -1, x = 2, and x = 4. Edward says that the function is undefined at those x values. Describe a situation where Bella is correct, and describe a situation where Edward is correct. Is it possible for a situation to exist that they are both correct? Justify your reasoning

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

lol no its not possible for a function to be both defined and undefined at same point :)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

a rational function is undefined when the denominator is zero example \[y = \frac{1}{x-3}\] is undefined when x=3 because that makes denominator zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Edward would be correct?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i dont know, they dont give a specific function? you can create 2 different functions, one where edward is right and one where bella is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They don't give a specific function. I understand now thank you :)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yw :)
