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:
18/40
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find a common denominator
8, 16, 24, 32, 40
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
2/8 times 5= 10/40
1/5 times 8= 8/40
10/40 plus 8/40= 18/40
It would take 32 minutes.
1,000 * 32 = 32,000
Answer:
smaller pieces must be larger than 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the longer piece
x>32
x-20>12
12/4=3
smaller pieces resembled as y
y>3
Answer:
$2,487.00
Step-by-step explanation:
27x53= 1431
33x32= 1056
1056 + 1431= 2487
