solve for range and domain f(x)= 2 over x squared-x-12
-------------------
f(x) = 2/[x^2-x-12]
----
Factor:
f(x) = 2/[(x-4)(x+3)]
-----
Domain is ?
The denominator cannot be zero,
so, x cannot be 4 and cannot be -3
-----
Domain is "All Real Numbers except x = 4 and x = -3".
---------------------------
Range is ?
There are vertical asymptotes at x = -3 and at x = 4.
and a horizontal asymptote at x = 0
so Range is "All Real Numbers except y = 0".
