please help!

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it will be undefined when \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} \frac{ 3v^2+9 }{ v^2-2v-3 }=\infty\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \frac{ 3v^2+9 }{ v^2-2v-3 }=\dfrac{1}{0}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \frac{ v^2-2v-3 }{ 3v^2+9 }=\dfrac{0}{1}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ v^2-2v-3 =0 \end{align}}\) solve the quadratic equation now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unidentified. means v^2-2v-3=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for v

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would that value of v be when it is unidentified is what the computer is asking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so i solve for v and that is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

make sure the spelling is correct whether it is undefined or unidentified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AJ01 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he is offline. does anyone else know?

OpenStudy (shamim):

v2-2v-3=0 v^2-3v+v-3=0 v(v-3)+1(v-3)=0 (v+1)(v-3)=0 So v=-1,3

OpenStudy (shamim):

U r 100% right!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks!

OpenStudy (shamim):
