Find Values of A and B
If f(x) = (x - B)/(x - A), f(2) = 0 and f(-1) is undefined, what are the Values of A amd B?

Re: Find Values of A and B
Put x=-1 in x-A = 0 to get A.
Put x = 2 in x-B = 0 to get B.

Thanks. I will solve it later on my lunch break at the job. It will give me something to do.

x - A = 0
-1 - A = 0
-A = 1
A = 1/-1
A = -1
x - B = 0
2 - B = 0
-B = -2
B = -2/-1
B = 2
Yes?

The question itself looks tricky but it's actually easy as pie.
