Identify The domain of the rational function, g(x)= 1/x+3 A (-∞, ∞)
B (-∞, 3)U(3, ∞)
C (-∞, -3]U[-3, ∞)
D (-∞, -3)U(-3, ∞)

The domain is (-∞ , -3) ∪ (-3, ∞) ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of the rational fraction is the values of x which make the fraction defined. That means the domain does not contain the values of x which make the denominator equal to 0.

∵ g(x) =

∴ The denominator = x + 3

→ Equate the denominator by 0

∵ x + 3 = 0

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

∴ x = -3

→ That means the domain can not have -3 because it makes the denominator

   equal to 0

∴ The domain is all values of real numbers except x = -3

∴ The domain = {x : x ∈ R, x ≠ -3}

∴ The domain = (-∞ , -3) ∪ (-3, ∞)

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
