A hole occurs when both numerator and denominator of a rational function have the same factor.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
While graphing rational function, it has to be converted into the lowest terms by factoring the numerator and denominator. If the numerator and denominator has the same factor, a hole is said to have occurred and to solve the rational function, you have to set the common factor to zero.
After you set it to zero and solve, you obtain the x value which can be then used to find out the value of y.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:






This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:


Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
Answer:
false because rounding it will not show the exact number
