Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y =
The denominator cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be, that is
(x + 5)(x + 11) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11
Thus
x = - 11 and x = - 5 are excluded values.
