There is some ambiguity here which could be removed by using parentheses. I'm going to assume that you actually meant:
x-3
h(x) = ---------------
(x^3-36x)
To determine the domain of this function, factor the denominator:
x^3 - 36x = x(x^2 - 36) = x(x-6)(x+6)
The given function h(x) is undefined when the denominator = 0, which happens at {-6, 0, 6}.
Thus, the domain is "the set of all real numbers not equal to -6, 0 or 6."
Symbolically, the domain is (-infinity, -6) ∪ (-6, 0) ∪ (0, 6) ∪ (6, +infinity).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The manufacturer requires that the weight differs from 20 oz in at most 0.4 oz, therefore we can write this difference (which can be either above or below 20 oz, to be smaller than or equal to 0.4 oz.
The weight can be:
1) smaller than or equal to 20 oz + 0.4 oz: then
2) larger than or equal to 20 oz - 0.4 oz: then
and which combined, can be written as a double inequality;
This double condition can also be written using the absolute value symbol as:

Answer:
12 in. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x 8= 24
1/2. =0.5
24 x 0.5 = 12
Answer:
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.
0 = (-2/5)*x + 18
(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
Up to and after 45 minutes, the barrel is empty of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
#2.)
minutes: 5, 10, 15, 20
water(gal): 16, 14, 12, 10
Find slope: slope m = (14 - 16)/(10 - 5) = -2/5
y - 10 = (-2/5)*(x - 20)
y - 10 = (-2/5)* x + 8
y = (-2/5)*x + 18
rate of change slope means that for every minute 2/5 gallons of water is lost
#3.) The initial value of 16 gal at x = 5 minutes means that 16 gallons of water was present 5 minutes after the barrel started leaking.
#4.) Find how many minutes until the barrel is empty of water.
Let y = 0, to solve for time x.
0 = (-2/5)*x + 18
(2/5)*x = 18
x = (5/2)* 18 = 5*9 = 45 minutes
