Algebra.Com's Answer #49723 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To assure f(2)=0 you need a factor of (x-2) in the numerator. \n" ); document.write( "-------- \n" ); document.write( "How about the following? \n" ); document.write( "f(x)= (x-2)/[x(x-3)(x+3)]\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
