Determine the points at which the function is discontinuous and state the domain using interval notation

f(u)=(4-u^2)/(7u+7π-u^2-uπ)

Please help.

It is discontinuous where the denominator is zero, because division by zero is undefined.

so, where is
7u+7π-u^2-uπ
= 7(u+π)-u(u+π)
= (7-u)(u+π)
zero?

So the domain is all reals except those values.

To determine the points at which the function is discontinuous, we need to analyze the denominator of the function.

The denominator of the function is 7u + 7π - u^2 - uπ.

In general, a rational function like this one is discontinuous where the denominator is equal to zero (0) because division by zero is undefined.

So, we need to find the values of u for which the denominator is equal to zero:

7u + 7π - u^2 - uπ = 0

Unfortunately, this equation cannot be easily factored or solved algebraically. To find the points of discontinuity, we can use a graphing calculator, computer software, or draw a rough sketch to get an idea of where the function is discontinuous.

However, since the question asks for the points at which the function is discontinuous, we can list the values of u for which the denominator is zero. These values will be the potential points of discontinuity:

7u + 7π - u^2 - uπ = 0

Simplifying the equation, we get:

u^2 + (7 - π)u + 7π = 0

Now, using the quadratic formula:

u = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a),

where a = 1, b = (7 - π), and c = 7π.

By substituting the values in the quadratic formula, we can calculate the potential values of u for which the function is discontinuous.

Regarding the domain, since the denominator cannot be zero, any value of u that makes the denominator zero will be excluded from the domain. Thus, the domain will consist of all real numbers except the values we obtained from solving for u in the equation above.

Finally, to express the domain using interval notation, we will need to determine the intervals between the discontinuous points and state the domain as the union of these intervals. However, since we do not have the exact values of u for which the denominator is zero, we cannot provide the complete interval notation for the domain.

In summary, to determine the points at which the function is discontinuous, we need to solve the equation 7u + 7π - u^2 - uπ = 0. To state the domain using interval notation, we need to exclude the values of u that make the denominator zero, as these will cause the function to be undefined.
