Chapter 7 - Rational Functions - 7.1 Rational Functions and Variation - 7.1 Exercises - Page 566: 53

Answer

a) Domain: All real numbers, except $x= -3, x= 4$ b) $h(1) \approx -1$ c) $h(-4) \approx -1.8$ d) $x\approx -1.85$, $x\approx 2.75$

Work Step by Step

a) The function in the plot is undefined for $x=-3$ and $x= 4$. Hence, the domain is: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \text{Domain: All real numbers, except}&\\ x= -3\text{ and } x= 4 \\ \end{aligned} \end{equation} b) We see that $h(1) \approx -1$. c) We see that $h(-4) \approx -1.8$. d) The graph shows that $h(x)=-2$ when $x\approx -1.85$ and when $x\approx 2.75$.
