Question

Find all values of the variable

Answer 1

The values of x for which the rational expression is undefined are -6 and -8.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a rational function:

$\rm f(x) = \dfrac{3x+20}{x^2+14x+48}$

As we know in the rational function denominator cannot be zero:

The values of x for which the rational expression is undefined.

x² + 14x + 48 = 0

$\rm x_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{-14\pm \sqrt{14^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:48}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$\rm x_1=\dfrac{-14+2}{2\cdot \:1},\:x_2=\dfrac{-14-2}{2\cdot \:1}$

x = -6, -8

Thus, the values of x for which the rational expression is undefined are -6 and -8.
