Show all work to identify the discontinuity and zero of this function. 3x/x^2-9

Answered by maham237 @



ANSWER

Zero(s)

x = 0

The function is discontinuous at

x =  - 3 \:and \: x = 3

EXPLANATION

The given rational function is

 y = \frac{3x}{ {x}^{2} - 9 }

For this function to be equal to zero, then the numerator must be zero.

Equate the numerator to zero and solve for x.

3x = 0

This implies that

x =  \frac{0}{3}  = 0

The rational function is discontinuous when the denominator is equal to zero.

 {x}^{2}  - 9 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation using the square root method or otherwise.

 {x}^{2}  =  \pm \sqrt{9}

{x} =  \pm 3

There is discontinuity at

x =  - 3 \:and \: x = 3
