What values for x must be exclued in the following fraction? x + 5/ -1
a) 5 b)none c) 0 d)-5
and how do I find the answer?
if this is (x+5)/-1, no values. if you had a term like 1/(x-s), hten when x was equal to s, that is not allowed (rule: exclude all zero solutions in the denominator).
In the given fraction, (x + 5) / -1, there are no values for x that need to be excluded.
To determine this, we need to consider the rule that applies to denominators. In general, we exclude any value of x that makes the denominator equal to zero because division by zero is undefined.
In this case, the denominator is -1, which is a constant and not dependent on x. Since the denominator is not equal to zero for any value of x, we do not need to exclude any values.
So, the correct answer is b) none.
To find this answer, you need to understand the concept of excluding values when dealing with fractions. Consider the denominator and check if there are any values for x that would make it equal to zero. If there are no such values, the answer will be "none" or "no values to exclude."
