Did not get.. Excluded value??

2. anonymous

that 's how the problem don't know what else u asking for

3. anonymous

I also don't know what you are asking for... Ha ha ha...

4. anonymous

okay i guess

5. anonymous

Hey, I got it..

6. anonymous

Is this your question : $\frac{2x + 6}{4x – 8}$

7. anonymous

yes

8. anonymous

I just want to know that is their any divide sign or / sign between 2x + 6 and 4x – 8??

9. anonymous

*there.

So, excluded value is the value which can make the denominator 0.. As, you know denominator must not be 0, that is why this value is to be excluded and is called Excluded Value..

11. anonymous

So, you have to just put your Denominator = 0: And then find x from it: $4x - 8 = 0$ Find x here..

12. anonymous

set the denominator = 0, so 4x - 8 = 0 so 4x = 8. Now find the value of x. and this x value will be the excluded value as you cant use the x you find for this equation.

13. anonymous

Can you find the value of x here ???

14. anonymous

15. anonymous

yup!!!

16. anonymous

yup

17. anonymous

you can do this @dietrich_harmon.

18. anonymous

Are you able to do this??
