Find Where Undefined/Discontinuous (z^2+14z+48)/(z^3+4z^2-32z)

$\frac{z^{2} + 14 z + 48}{z^{3} + 4 z^{2} - 32 z}$

Step 1

Set the denominator in $\frac{z^{2} + 14 z + 48}{z^{3} + 4 z^{2} - 32 z}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$z^{3} + 4 z^{2} - 32 z = 0$

Step 2

Solve for $z$ .

Factor the left side of the equation.

Factor $z$ out of $z^{3} + 4 z^{2} - 32 z$ .

Factor $z$ out of $z^{3}$ .

$z \cdot z^{2} + 4 z^{2} - 32 z = 0$

Factor $z$ out of $4 z^{2}$ .

$z \cdot z^{2} + z (4 z) - 32 z = 0$

Factor $z$ out of $- 32 z$ .

$z \cdot z^{2} + z (4 z) + z \cdot - 32 = 0$

Factor $z$ out of $z \cdot z^{2} + z (4 z)$ .

$z (z^{2} + 4 z) + z \cdot - 32 = 0$

Factor $z$ out of $z (z^{2} + 4 z) + z \cdot - 32$ .

$z (z^{2} + 4 z - 32) = 0$

Factor.

Factor $z^{2} + 4 z - 32$ using the AC method.

Consider the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is $c$ and whose sum is $b$ . In this case, whose product is $- 32$ and whose sum is $4$ .

$- 4, 8$

Write the factored form using these integers.

$z ((z - 4) (z + 8)) = 0$

Remove unnecessary parentheses.

$z (z - 4) (z + 8) = 0$

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$z = 0$

$z - 4 = 0$

$z + 8 = 0$

Set $z$ equal to $0$ .

$z = 0$

Set $z - 4$ equal to $0$ and solve for $z$ .

Set $z - 4$ equal to $0$ .

$z - 4 = 0$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$z = 4$

Set $z + 8$ equal to $0$ and solve for $z$ .

Set $z + 8$ equal to $0$ .

$z + 8 = 0$

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$z = - 8$

The final solution is all the values that make $z (z - 4) (z + 8) = 0$ true.

$z = 0, 4, - 8$

Step 3

The equation is undefined where the denominator equals $0$ , the argument of a square root is less than $0$ , or the argument of a logarithm is less than or equal to $0$ .

$z = - 8, z = 0, z = 4$

Step 4

Find Where Undefined/Discontinuous (z^2+14z+48)/(z^3+4z^2-32z)
