Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The function is defined as \(f(x) = \dfrac{x^2 - 3x + 2}{4x - x^3}\). Factorizing the numerator and the denominator: Numerator: \(x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1)(x - 2)\) Denominator: \(4x - x^3 = x(4 - x^2) = x(2 - x)(2 + x) = -x(x - 2)(x + 2)\) Thus,…
