iii. For which values of x is f discontinuous and why? f(x)=(x+2)/(x^(2)-x-6)
Added by Janice W.
Step 1
To determine where the function is discontinuous, we need to find the values of x that make the denominator zero. In this case, the denominator is x^2 - x - 6. We can factor this quadratic equation as (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0. Setting each factor equal to zero, we find Show more…
