which one

fast jasper
# junior river which one

the domain is f(x)any real number except 4 and 5 and g(x) the domain is any real number except 3 and 4

#

i want to see what i did wrong

#

it keeps telling me its wrong when i check it

junior river
#

for b) ?

#

b) should be 4 and 3

fast jasper
#

why?

junior river
#

you have switched the answers from b and c

fast jasper
#

nvm

#

yea i got mixed up

junior river
#

f(x) / g(x)

#

solve for the zeros of g(x)

#

the zeros for g(x) are 3 and 4

fast jasper
#

for a is it correc

#

t

junior river
#

ye i guess so

fast jasper
#

wait

junior river
#

you can choose any x value without it being undefined

fast jasper
#

i dont think i mixed up

#

bc if we add 5 in f(x)

#

=0

junior river
#

huh

fast jasper
#

5^2-9(5)+20=0

junior river
#

yes

#

and?

fast jasper
#

so for b) it would be 5

#

and 4

junior river
#

no

#

you cannot divide by 0

#

but you can divide 0 by anything

fast jasper
#

wait can i ask a quick question

junior river
#

so 0/x is ok but x/0 is not ok

fast jasper
#

i know that it cant be 4 or 5

#

is that what the domain is

#

or is the domain any real number

junior river
#

look

#

what is the domain

#

the domain is all the x values the function is defined at

fast jasper
#

ok

junior river
#

any number divided by 0 is not defined

fast jasper
#

so in this case the domain is any real number

junior river
#

but 0 divided by any real number is 0

fast jasper
#

except 4 and 5

junior river
#

you set 5 into f(x) you get 0

#

0 / g(x) is ok because g(5) is not 0

fast jasper
#

oh

#

i see where i messed up

junior river
#

however g(3) is 0 so f(3) / 0 is not ok

fast jasper
#

i was thinking the upper of the fraction =0 would mean its undifined but its the lower part

junior river
#

yes

fast jasper
#

so i basically just switch b and c

junior river
#

yes

fast jasper
#

its still giving me an error

junior river
#

have you set 3, 4 for b)

fast jasper
#

nvm

#

it was right

#

for a i had to change the infinity signs

junior river
#

yes idk why you changed it

#

it was good the first time

junior river
fast jasper
#
  • is always on the left on infinite right
#

btw tysm you have no idea how easy you made it for me
