Can I get an example on how to find excluded values in a fraction equation?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there is oly one rule when it comes to fractions :- bottom can never equal 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ex :- find excluded values of \(\large \frac{x}{x-2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the example fraciton, when does bottom equals 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If x=2?

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, since x = 2 makes the bottom 0, 2 is the excluded value

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you want another example ha ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 but i thought that the bottoms can never equal 0?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes bottom can never equal 0; thats the exact reason we're excluding 2 from the domain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 oooh i get it, thanks!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :)
