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 
We assume that the function is as follows:

Then, we have that:

Thus, if we have that:

Therefore, the value for the function is f^-1(2) = -1/2 or
First one is 7.73 (23.19/3)
Second one is 14.04 ((19.71/7.3) x 5.2)
Answer:
18617.66 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
sides of triangular base
a= 145ft ,
b = 257ft ,
c = 290ft
<u>calculate the area of the base </u>
The base is a scalene triangle hence the area is calculated as follows
s = ( a + b + c ) / 2
= ( 145 + 257 + 290 ) / 2 = 346
Area of triangle = 
= 18617.66 ft^2
