Question

Find all values of x that are not in the domain of h. If there is more than one value, separate them with commas

Answer 1

x = - 1, 6

Explanation:

the denominator of h(x) cannot be zero as this would make h(x) undefined

equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values of x that cannot be in the domain of h(x)

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

(x + 1)(x - 6) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

then x = - 1, 6 are values not in the domain of h(x)
