OpenStudy (priyar):

@kittymeow101 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (priyar):

good! so what values should x not take for the denominator to not be zero?

OpenStudy (priyar):

x+3 not equal to zero..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+1 is not equal to zero either

OpenStudy (priyar):

u mean x-1? ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes my mistake

OpenStudy (priyar):

its ok

OpenStudy (priyar):

so what value x must not take so that denominator is never zero..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer c?

OpenStudy (priyar):

no..why should x not be 3??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so my answer is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because x can not be -3 or 1

a function is said to be increasing when the slope (tanx ) increases...

OpenStudy (priyar):

do u know what is a slope?

OpenStudy (priyar):

@kittymeow101 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

OpenStudy (priyar):

here where does the slope inrease?

OpenStudy (priyar):

*increase

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it starts increasing from the bottom left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

top*

OpenStudy (priyar):

as long as the slope is positive the function will be incresing..so it the slope negative anywhere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the slope is negative it will decrease

OpenStudy (priyar):

yes that is y i am asking is it decreasing anywhere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes at the bottom left

OpenStudy (priyar):

now tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is decreasing at the stop also
