Answer:

Option D is correct.

The domain of the function f(x) is all real numbers except 2 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x+1)/(x²-6x+8)

The domain of a function expresses the region of values of x, where the function exists.

And logically, a function exists where ever f(x) has a finite value. That is, the only point where A function does not exist is when f(x) gives infinity.

For a rational function, the point where a function doesn't exist is when the denominator of the rational function is equal to 0. Because (numerator/0) --> ∞

So, the denominator in this question is

x²-6x+8

The function doesn't exist when

x²-6x+8 = 0

So, we solve the quadratic equation that ensues to get the values of x where the function doesn't exist.

x²-6x+8 = 0

x² - 4x - 2x + 8 = 0

x(x-4) - 2(x-4) = 0

(x-2)(x-4) = 0

(x-2) = 0 or (x-4) = 0

x = 2 or x = 4

This means that the function doesnt exist at x = 2 and x = 4

Indicating further that the function exists everywhere except at x = 2 and x = 4.

Hence, from the definition of domain given above, it is clear that the domain of the given function is all real numbers except 2 and 4.

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

  all real numbers except 2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The exceptions in the domain are the values that make the denominator zero. For a denominator of x² -6x +8 = (x -4)(x -2), the values that make it zero are x=4 and x=2.

The domain is all real numbers except 2 and 4.

2x+1&lt;9<br> I need help with this question
tia_tia [17]

Answer: x<4

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

2x+1<9

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x+1−1<9−1

2x < 8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2  <  8 /2

x<4

Which of the following systems of inequalities has point C as a solution?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

C lies below g(x) and f(x), so we need f(x) \leq 3x+4 and g(x) \leq -\frac{1}{2}x-5.

A bag contains white marbles and green marbles, 52 in total. The number of white marbles is 3 less than 4 times the number of gr
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

w + g = 52

w = 4g - 3

(4g - 3) + g = 52

5g - 3 = 52

5g = 52 + 3

5g = 55

g = 55/5

g = 11....there are 11 green marbles

w + g = 52

w + 11 = 52

w = 52 - 11

w = 41 <=== there are 41 white marbles
