What are the excluded values of the function? y= -2/5x+40
A. x=0
B. x=-6
C. x=-40
D. x=-8
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
This is why parentheses are important
-2/(5x+40) excludes x = -8
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct that the excluded value of the function is x=-8. Thank you for pointing out the error.
To find the excluded values of a function, we have to identify the values of x that make the function undefined. In this case, the function is y = -2/5x + 40.
To find the excluded values, we need to look for any values of x that would lead to division by zero or any other undefined operation.
Looking at the function, we can see that the only operation being performed on x is multiplication by -2/5. Division is not involved.
Since there are no values of x that would lead to a division by zero or an undefined operation, there are no excluded values for this function.
Therefore, none of the options A (x=0), B (x=-6), C (x=-40), or D (x=-8) are the correct answer.
