For what value of x is x^2−12x +17 (Over) x^2+ 7x +12 undefined?
=================================================================
we need to factor the denominator to determine the 0's for which the denominator is undefined
=====================================================================
x^2+ 7x +12 = (x+4) * (x+3)
0's are x = -4, -3
=====================================================================
a) and c)
