Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation shown in the question can be seen graphed in the image attached below. As you can see with the graphed equation the variable x can be any real number except for -1. This is because a -1 would cause the denominator of the fraction to be equal to 0, and a fraction with a denominator as 0 is a null value and does not exist.

Answer:
q = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
When the quadratic has roots p and r, it can be factored as ...
(x -p)(x -r) = x² -(p+r)x +pr
So, the sum of the roots is 14, and their difference is 6. This lets us find the roots from ...
p + r = 14
p - r = 6
2p = 20 . . . add the two equations
p = 10
r = 14 -p = 4
The value of interest is then ...
q = pr = (10)(4)
q = 40
__
The graph shows the roots to be 4 and 10, as we found.
