Algebra.Com's Answer #57584 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Give the values of x which must be excluded from the domain of the following function. \n" ); document.write( "f(x)= (x+1)/(x^2-4x-12) \n" ); document.write( "Factor to get: \n" ); document.write( "f(x)/[(x-6)(x+2)] \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "X-values are excluded if they make the denominator zero or if they \n" ); document.write( "make a radicand negative for radicals with even index. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Your Problem: \n" ); document.write( "You have no radicals, so forget that. \n" ); document.write( "You have a denominator so x cannot be 6 and it cannot be -2. \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Therefore the domain is All Real Numbers except x=-2 and x=6. \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
