Solution Summary
An example is given of a rational expression P/Q such that the degree of the denominator Q is 3 and this expression is defined for all real numbers except the values 2 and 4.
Solution Preview
We need the denominator to be a polynomial of degree 3, hence it has three roots.
Let these roots be a, b and c
Then:
Q = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)
Now, no one says that the roots can not have multiplicity. For example (x-1)^3 ...
