When looking at the rational function f of x equals the quantity x minus one times the quantity x plus two times the quantity x

plus four all divided by the quantity x plus one times the quantity x minus two times the quantity x minus four, Bella and Edward have two different thoughts. Bella says that the function is defined at x = –1, x = 2, and x = 4. Edward says that the function is undefined at those x values. Who is correct? Justify your reasoning.

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}<span>

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}</span>

 

Bella says that the function is defined at x = –1, x = 2, and x = 4 so Bella is wrong since the result is undefined because we cannot divide by zero Therefore, Edward is correct.

How do you factor this trinomial 4a^2-4a+1
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

(2a-1)(2a-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the factored form, multiply a*c from the standard form ax^2+bx+c. Here it is 4*1 = 4.

Then find factors of 4 that add to b=-4.

4: 1,2,4

-2+-2 = -4

Split the middle term into -2x+-2x and factor by grouping.

4a^2-2a+-2a+1\\(4a^2-2a)+(-2a+1)\\2a(2a-1)-1(2a-1)\\(2a-1)(2a-1)
