\[\Large f(x)=\frac{2x+4}{x-7}\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
So, we can't divide by zero, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i believe so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its undefined so that s what got to me
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
What value of \(\Large x\) would cause this problem?

so would i just plus it all in?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Well that's one way of solving the puzzle, you can do that
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
what values of x makes the fraction undefined?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but how would i know which one is undefined?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
waitttt! look at the denominator first

wouldn't it have to be positive to be a undefined?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
whoa... x - 7
what value of x makes it 0?
it's like
x-7 = 0 solve for x
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yeah it has to be positive to be undefined
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
if you have a fraction like 1/0 that's undefined...we can't divide by 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
