question 482

Multiple Choice

Determine the x values that cause the function to be (a) zero, (b) undefined, (c) positive, and (d) negative.
- $$f ( x ) = \frac { ( x - 2 ) } { ( 2 x + 1 ) ( x - 3 ) }$$

• A) (a) \( \left\{2,3,-\frac{1}{2}\right\} \) (b) \( \varnothing \), (c) \( \left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cup(2,3) \), (d) \( \left(-\frac{1}{2}, 2\right) \cup(3, \infty) \)
• B) (a) \( \{3\} \), (b) \( \left\{3,-\frac{1}{2}\right\} \), (c) \( \left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cup(2,3),(\mathrm{d})\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 2\right) \cup(3, \infty) \)
• C) (a) \( \{2,3\} \), (b) \( \left\{-\frac{1}{2}\right\} \) (c) \( \left\{-\frac{1}{2}, 2\right) \cup(3, \infty),(\mathrm{d})\left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cup(2,3) \)
• D) (a) \( \{2\} \), (b) \( \left\{3,-\frac{1}{2}\right\} \), (c) \( \left\{-\frac{1}{2}, 2\right) \cup(3, \infty),(d)\left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right) \cup(2,3) \)
