Question

How do you find the answer to this?

Answer 1

Answer:

  D)  {-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational expression is "not defined" when its denominator is zero. Hence to find values of x that make the expression "not defined," you solve the equation ...

  denominator = 0

  2x +2 = 0 . . . . . . put the actual denominator into the equation

  x + 1 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2

  x = -1 . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The expression is "not defined" for x in the set {-1}.
