Let
f(x)=11+21+3x.
There are three real numbers x that are not in the domain of f(x). What is the sum of those three numbers?

obviously....x cannot  = 0

 

1 + 3/x   cannot = 0   ...so   1 + 3/x  =  [ x + 3] / x

  

And    2/ ( [ x + 3] / x)  =  2x / [ x + 3]

So x cannot =  -3

 

Lastly

 

1 + [2x] / [ x + 3]   cannot  = 0

 

[ x + 3 + 2x] /[x + 3]

 

[ 3x + 3 ] / [x + 3]

 

So......  1 / [ (3x + 3) / (x + 3) ]

(x + 3 )  / (3x + 3)      

So x cannot = -1/3

 

cool cool cool
