Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (select all that apply.) f(x) = 1 x + 1 a = −1 f(−1) is undefined. lim x→−1+ f(x) and lim x→−1− f(x) exist, but are not equal. lim x→−1 f(x) does not exist. f(−1) and lim x→−1 f(x) exist, but are not equal. none of the above

The height of a flare fired from the deck of a ship in distress can be modeled by h(t)= -2(8t^2-52t-28), where h is the height of the flare above water and t is the time in seconds. a. find the time it takes the flare to hit the water.

[10 points, algebra 2]according to my answer key the restrictions are -1 and 4. but why not positive 1?
