I can only guess that by x^2-2x-24 you mean the entire denominator.  In cases like this is is important to use parentheses to remove any doubts.  For example:

(x+8) / (x^2-2x-24).

This rational expression is undefined at any x for which the denominator, x^2-2x-24, is zero.  

x^2-2x-24 factors into (x+4)(x-6).  The roots are -4 and +6.  

Thus, the given expression is undefined at {-4,6} (set notation).

Step-by-step explanation:

c

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
