Answer:
The domain is all values but x=4 and x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x+1) / ( x^2-6x+8)
Factor the function
f(x) = (x+1) / ( (x-4) ( x-2))
The domain of the function is all values of x except where the function does not exist
This is where the denominator goes to zero
(x-4) ( x-2) =0
Using the zero product property
x-4 =0 x-2 =0
x=4 x=2
The domain is all values but x=4 and x=2
So just switch x and y to get:
and solve for x.
so f(-1) = x = 2y -10
Answer:
Let's just call the number x. 3/8ths of x and 1 more equals 11.
As an equation, this basically means
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line is x = 4.
The term "closed" in math means that if you take two items from a set, do some operation, then you'll always get another value in the same set (sometimes you may get the same value as used before). For example, adding two whole numbers leads to another whole number. We therefore say "the set of whole numbers is closed under addition". This applies to integers as well because integers are positive and negative whole numbers. So we can say that integers are closed under addition.
Integers are not closed under division. Take two integers like 2 an 5 and divide: 2/5 = 0.4 which is not an integer. Integers don't have decimal parts.
The set of whole numbers is {0,1,2,3,...} and we can subtract the two values 1 and 2 to get 1-2 = -1. The order matters here. Subtracting a larger value from a smaller leads to a negative. The value -1 is not in the set of whole numbers. So we can say that whole numbers is not closed under subtraction
Finally, the set of irrational numbers is closed under addition. Adding any two irrational numbers leads to another irrational number. For instance, pi+sqrt(2) = 3.142 + 1.414 = 4.556; I'm using rounded decimals as approximate values. An irrational number is one where we cannot write it as a fraction of integers. Contrast that with a rational number in which we can write it as a fraction of integers. Example: 10 = 10/1 is a rational number.
