So on the top, you split it up using the difference of squares rule.
You get (x - 6)(x + 6) on the top.

On the bottom, you can undistribute (pull out) -7x.
This gives you -7x(x-6) on the bottom.

Now you can cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator.
You can cancel the (x-6).
You can also move the negative sign from the 7x to the (x + 6)

This leaves you with -(x + 6) over 7x, or (6 - x) over 7x.

To find excluded values, all you need to know is that you can't divide by zero under any circumstances, and you can't have a zero on the top in a rational expression. 
The only values for x that would make either of these statements true are if x = 0 (7 × 0 = 0 on the bottom), or if x = 6 (6 - 6 +0 on the top)

So the answer is (6 - x) over 7x, x ≠ 0, 6

notsponge [240]

Remember how the tangent function is defined as

\frac{sinx}{cosx}

Now where exactly are the vertical assymptotes? Well, where cosx = 0, because  anything over 0 is undefined, and where a value is undefined, you are required to draw  a vertical assymptote.  

Now where exactly are the x interecepts? Well, where sinx = 0, because remember, an x-intercept  is where y = 0, or where it crosses the x-axis, meaning where the tangent function is equal to 0.

So the x-intercepts are at where sinx = 0.

OLga [1]

Answer: 42.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, which is divided by the known value, and then multiplied by 100%.

Percent error = (Estimated number- Actual number)/Actual Number × 100.

= (60 - 42)/42 × 100

= 18/42 × 100

= 0.429 × 100

= 42.9%
