Find any points of discontinuity for the rational function y=(x-8)/(x^2 +5x-6)
4 months ago
Q:
Find any points of discontinuity for the rational function y=(x-8)/(x^2 +5x-6)
Accepted Solution
A:
A point of discontinuity is any point that yields an undefined answer when plugged in (meaning there’s division by zero involved).
By that, we can find the points of discontinuity by setting the denominator equal to 0.
x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0
(x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1, -6
Those are your points of discontinuity
