What are the discontinuities of the function f(x) = the quantity of x squared plus 6 x plus 9, all over 3 x plus 15.?

Ax ≠ −3

B.x ≠ −2

Cx ≠ −8
Dx ≠ −5

Verified Answer :

assuming your function is 
\(\frac{x^2+6x+9}{3x+15} = \frac{(x+3)(x+3)}{3(x+5)}\)
nothing can be factored.
the only discontinuity arises where the denominator would be equal to 0. When x = -5 you will have a discontinuity because it makes the denominator equal to 0.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

\(f(x)=\frac{x^2+6x+9}{3x+15}\)

\(f(x)=\frac{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}{3(x+5)}\)

Using algebraic property:

\((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\)

\(f(x)=\frac{(x+3)^2}{3(x+5)}\)

\(f(x)=\frac{(x+3)(x+3)}{3(x+5)}\)

A rational function is discontinuous at that point where the value of denominator equal to 0.

Equate denominator equal to 0.

\(3(x+5)=0\)

\(x+5=0\)

\(x=-5\)

Therefore function is discontinuous at \(x=-5\).

The discontinuity of the function is

\(x eq -5\)

The function f(x) is not defined at \(x=-5\).Therefore option D is correct.
