Question

For what values (cases) of the variables the expression does not exist: b/a+b

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression b/(a +b) does not exist when a = -b or b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression b/(a + b) does not exist if the denominator a + b = 0.

So, a = - b or b = -a.

So, the expression b/(a + b) does not exist when a = -b or b = -a.

When a = -b values, the denominator a + b = -b + b = 0. This will make the expression b/(a + b) = b/0 = ∞ which undefined or does not exist.

When b = -a values, the denominator a + b = a + (-a) = a - a = 0. This will make the expression b/(a + b) = -a/0 = -∞ which undefined or does not exist.

So the expression b/(a +b) does not exist when a = -b or b = -a
