(in Math)
Interval Notation:
(negativeinfinitysymbol,-3)U(-3,infinitysymbol)
Set Builder Notation:
x
Explanation:
Since this function is a rational function (like a fraction) we have to watch out for what is going on in the denominator. The denominator cannot be zero.
So, 2x + 6 cannot be zero. Let's figure out what makes 2x+6 actually equal to 0.
2x + 6 = 0
Subtract 6.
2x = -6
Divide by 2.
x = -3
Remember this is what x canNOT be.
This question is a domain question. What is x allowed to be? x may be anything except -3.
