Step-by-step explanation:
The excluded values are any values of x that make the function undefined
Given
The denominator of the rational function cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
(x + 4)(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x = - 4, x = 2, x = 5 are the excluded values
