find the exluded value pls ...I need help ...I will medal

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

2/(x^2-1)+x/(x^2-2x+1)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

set x^2-1 equal to zero and solve set x^2-2x+1 equal to zero and solve

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is done because you cannot divide by zero

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

huh @jim_thompson5910 im confused

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are you able to solve x^2-1 = 0 ?

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

yes ..I got x=1,-1 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how about x^2-2x+1 = 0

OpenStudy (saylilbaby):

I got x=1 double root @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x = -1 and x = 1 are the excluded values. They are excluded to avoid dividing by zero.
