Find the nonpermissible replacement for y in the expression y+3/y+3

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Non-permissible value is $y=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given equation as

$f=\frac{y+3}{y+3}$

we know that denominator can not be zero

so, we can set denominator =0

and then we can solve for y

$y+3=0$

we can subtract both sides by 3

$y+3-3=0-3$

$y=-3$

So,

Non-permissible value is $y=-3$
