Factoring we get 

(x + 2)(x + 1) / (x + 1)(x + 1)

The excluded value is x = -1

Answer:  The required value of x is x=-1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the excluded value for the following rational expression:

E=\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+2x+1}.

First, we need to factorize both numerator and denominator and then we should check the values of x for which the expression becomes undefined.

We have

E\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+3x+2}{x^2+2x+1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+2x+x+2}{x^2+x+x+1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{x(x+2)+1(x+2)}{x(x+1)+1(x+1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+1)}.

Now, we can cancel (x+1) by (x+1), only if x\neq 1, because

if x=-1, then  x+1=0 and we cannot divide 0 by 0.

Therefore, if x\neq 1, then

E=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{x+2}{x+1},

which is again well-defined because x\neq -1 and so the denominator never become zero.

Thus, the excluded value of x is  x=-1.

Four times the largest of three consecutive odd integers is 36 more than the sum of the other
erica [24]

If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.

Odd Integers

If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.

So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.

Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.

Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.

Lines l, m, and n are parallel.<br><br> What is the value of x?<br><br><br> °
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since you know the given angle is 46deg. You also know that a straight line is equal to 180deg. So it's a supplementary angle, therefore you subtract 46 from 180 and get 134. And since the l, m, and n are parallel, they have congruent angles. So x = 134deg.
