NEED HELP WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN!! Kelly tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation one over two plus three over x equals three over four becomes unsolvable. Kelly explains, "There is a value for x that makes the denominator zero, and you can't divide by zero." Demonstrate to Kelly how the equation is still solvable and explain your reasoning.
The equation is still possible because any number multiplied by 0 is zero and the same with division so you don't have to divide you can just multiply. I hope that's correct.
Okay thanks! Will you help me with one more question?
Yes
When looking at a rational function f of x equals the quantity x plus three times the quantity x minus two times the quantity x plus five all divided by the quantity x minus three times the quantity x plus two times the quantity x minus 5, Charles and Bobby have two different thoughts. Charles says that the function is defined at x = −2, x = 3, and x = 5. Bobby says that the function is undefined at those x values. Who is correct? Justify your reasoning.
Thats long hold on a second.
Bobby because anything divided by 0 is undefined.
