@mathmate

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

thank you tkhunny for coming by to help me

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Please stop tagging people and start showing your work. When is the denominator zero?

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

due to division it has to zero

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

f/g = 0

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Wherever the denominator is zero, we have a place that is NOT in the Domain. Where is that?

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

by setting each factor as zero ? to find x

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

There you go. Factor it?

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

sorry I meant setting each factor EQUAL-ing to "0" x+1 = 0, x-12= 0. Am I right ? @tkhunny

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

\(x^{2} + x - 12 = 0\) Factor that. It's not 12 and 1.

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

OK (x+12) (x-1) ? Im sorry im just going by the way I have the notes in my notebook .

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

Thanks a lot Jim

OpenStudy (aizhalee):

Yes I have that written down :) but how can I factor it correctly please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there is really a 1 in front of the x terms (if there aren't coefficients there already) |dw:1447029675705:dw|
