Chapter 7 - Rational Functions - 7.1 Rational Functions and Variation - 7.1 Exercises - Page 567: 54

Answer

a) Domain: All real numbers, except $x= -3, x= 3$ b) $h(8) \approx -1$ c) $h(-6) \approx -1.9$ d) $x\approx -2.9$ and $x\approx 3.1$

Work Step by Step

a) The function in the plot is undefined for $x=-3$ and $x= 3$. Hence, the domain is: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \text{Domain: All real numbers, accept}&\\ x= -3\text{ and }x= 3. \end{aligned} \end{equation} b) We see that $h(8) \approx -1$. c) We see that $h(-6) \approx -1.9$. d) The graph shows that $h(x)=-8$ when $x\approx -2.9$ and when $x\approx 3.1$.
