now, for a rational expression, the domain, or "values that x can safely take", applies to the denominator NOT becoming 0, because if the denominator is 0, then the rational turns to
undefined.
now, what value of "x" makes this denominator turn to 0, let's check by setting it to 0 then.
![\bf 2-x^{12}=0\implies 2=x^{12}\implies \pm\sqrt[12]{2}=x\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-x^{12}}\qquad \boxed{x=\pm \sqrt[12]{2}}\qquad \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-(\pm\sqrt[12]{2})^{12}}\implies \cfrac{x^2-9}{2-\boxed{2}}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{x^2-9}{0}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%202-x%5E%7B12%7D%3D0%5Cimplies%202%3Dx%5E%7B12%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%3Dx%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A-------------------------------%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-x%5E%7B12%7D%7D%5Cqquad%20%5Cboxed%7Bx%3D%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cqquad%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-%28%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B12%5D%7B2%7D%29%5E%7B12%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B2-%5Cboxed%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bund%20efined%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7Bx%5E2-9%7D%7B0%7D%7D)
so, the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT that one.
Answer:
The answer would be 10,000.
Hope this helps!
150 red bars, since 200 divided by 4 equals 50, then 3 x 50 would give u 150 red bars
