Question

Please help.
What are the discontinuities of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus 5 x plus 6, all over 2 x plus 16?

A. x ≠ -3
B. x ≠ -2
C. x ≠ -8
D. x ≠ -5

Answer 1

Hint:
Whenever the denominator of a rational function becomes zero, then there is a discontinuity (and a vertical asymptote).

Answer 2

C
2x+16=0
2x=-16
x cannot equal -8
