Question 774384
find the values for which the rational expression is undefined -6+9x/x^3-8x^2+7
***
expression is undefined if denominator=0
x^3-8x^2+7=0
solve for x using rational roots theorem:

....0...|.....1.......-8........0.........7.....
....1...|.....1.......-7......-7.......-7 (1 is a root)
(x-1)(x^2-7x-7)
x^2-7x-7=0
solve by quadratic formula:
{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}}
a=1, b=-7, c=-7
x≈0.8875
or
x=7.8875
expression is undefined if: x=1, 0.8875, or 7.885
