\n" ); document.write( "Hi
\n" ); document.write( "(8x^2 + 1)/(2x^2-5x-3) |cannot divide by ZERO
\n" ); document.write( " 2x^2 -5x - 3 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "factoring
\n" ); document.write( "(2x +1)(x-3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(2x +1)=0 x = -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "(x-3) = 0 x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "{x: x ≠ 3 and x ≠ -1/2} the set of all real numbers except 3 and -1/2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
