Question
f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 4x}{x^2 + x - 12}
options:
(-\infty, -4) \cup (3, \infty)
\\{x|x \
eq 3\\}
\\{x|x \
eq 3, -4\\}
\\{x|x \
eq 0, -4\\}
(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)
Step1: Set denominator ≠ 0
$x^2 + x - 12
eq 0$
Step2: Factor the quadratic
$(x+4)(x-3)
eq 0$
Step3: Solve for excluded x-values
$x+4
eq 0 \implies x
eq -4$; $x-3
eq 0 \implies x
eq 3$
