For rational function, fx=x-1x2-6x+5 , a)find the domain of the function b) solve f(x) = 4c) find the points on the graph at this function value.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The domain is all real numbers except 1 and 5.

b) The solution is x=214

c) The point is214,4

Step by step solution

01

(a)Step 1. Given.

The given rational function is fx=x-1x2-6x+5.

02

Step 2. To find 

Find the domain of the function.

03

Step 3. Calculation 

For the domain the denominator can not be 0.

x2-6x+5≠0(x-1)(x-5)≠0x≠1,5

So the domain is all real numbers except 1 and 5.

04

(b)Step 1. Given.

The given rational function isfx=x-1x2-6x+5.

05

Step 2. To find  

Solve fx=4.

06

Step 3. Calculation 

Plugf(x)=4inthegivenequationandsolveforx.4=x-1x2-6x+54x2-6x+5=x-14x2-24x+20=x-14x2-25x+21=0(4x-21)(x-1)=0x=214,1But,x≠1.So,x=214istheonlysolution.

07

(c)Step 1. Given.

The given rational function isfx=x-1x2-6x+5.

08

Step 2. To find 

Find the points on the graph at this function value fx=4

09

Step 3. Calculation 

At those x values in b), y=4.

So, the point is 214,4.
