When looking at a rational function, charles and bobby have two different thoughts. charles says that the function is defined at x = -2, x = 3, and x = 5. bobby says that the function is undefined at those x values. describe a situation where charles is correct, and describe a situation where bobby is correct. is it possible for a situation to exist that they are both correct? justify your reasoning.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
