identify the excluded value. f(x)=5/x

|dw:1433047507570:dw|

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what value of x makes the denominator 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

nope, try again what is the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the denominator is the bottom number of the fraction, so if i used 0, would that make it undefined or would it make it 0? or is that the same thing?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

when you divide by 0, the answer is undefined so, when you put in x = 0, the function is undefined, so x = 0 is the excluded value

ohhh..okay thanks! :)
