A hole occurs when both numerator and denominator of a rational function have the same factor.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
While graphing rational function, it has to be converted into the lowest terms by factoring the numerator and denominator. If the numerator and denominator has the same factor, a hole is said to have occurred and to solve the rational function, you have to set the common factor to zero.
After you set it to zero and solve, you obtain the x value which can be then used to find out the value of y.
Ok -7-7=-14 because your subtracting a negative with a negative and then it will be a negative then if you multiply a negative and a negative it will be a positive
