We are given the function .
Part a· 2 steps
For what value of is not defined?
A rational function is undefined when its denominator is equal to zero.
Set the denominator to zero and solve for .
Isolate .
The value of for which is not defined is .
Part b
Determine the value of for which vanishes
The function vanishes (is equal to zero) when its numerator is equal to zero, provided the denominator is not zero at that same value.
Set the numerator to zero and solve for .
Isolate .
The value of for which vanishes is .
Part c· 5 steps
For what range of values of is ?
Set up the inequality.
Subtract 3 from both sides to get a single fraction.
Find the critical points where the numerator or denominator is zero.
Numerator:
Denominator:Use a sign table or test intervals to determine when the expression is positive.
The critical points divide the number line into three intervals: , , and .
