Answer:
The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following expression

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.
Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial 
We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.
These numbers are -2 and 1
Then the factors are:

We do the same with the numerator

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.
These numbers are 3 and 1
Then the factors are:

Therefore

Note that
only if 
So since
is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in 
Answer:
Let x represents the number of pants and y represents the number of shirts.
As per the statement:
Since, a clothing store are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99
then;
total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99
Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.
then, we have the equation of inequality;
;......[1] where x, y are natural number.
x-intercept:
Substitute the value y= 0 in [1] and solve for x;


Simplify:

Since, x is in natural number;

Similarly.
For y-intercept:
Substitute the value x= 0 in [1] and solve for x;


Simplify:


Therefore, we have

Answer: It will take approximately 21 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 percent of 5.25 is 0.315 (5.25 x 0.06 = 0.315)
Then you subtract 5.25 from 12 to calculate the number of years. (12 - 5.25 = 6.75)
Divide 0.315 from 6.75 (6.75 / 0.315 ≈ 21.4)
