Let
f(x) = \frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{1+\frac 3x}}.
There are three real numbers $x$ that are not in the domain of $f(x)$. What is the sum of those three numbers?

\(f(x) = \frac{1}{1+\frac{2}{1+\frac 3x}}. \)

 

 

x cannot  = 0

 

1 + 3/x  =  [ x + 3] / x

 

2 /  [ ( x + 3) /x ] =   2x / [x + 3]

 

x cannot = -3

 

1 + 2x  / [ x + 3]  =   [ x + 3 + 2x ] / [ x + 3] = [ 3x + 3] / [x + 3]

 

1/ ([3x + 3] /[x + 3]) =    [x + 3] / [ 3x + 3]

 

x cannot = -1
