ANSWER:
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We have the following equation:
The inverse is the following (we calculate it by replacing f(x) by x and x by f(x)):
The domain would be the range of the original equation, and it would be the range of values that f(x) could take, which was from -4 to positive infinity, that is, f(x) ≥ -4.
Therefore, the domain is x ≥ -4.
So the correct answer is D.
Answer:
x = - 3 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rational expression
The denominator of the expression cannot be zero as this would make the expression undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be, that is
x² + 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Thus x = 1 and x = - 3 are both excluded values
