Identifying Excluded Values in a Rational Expression

Find the non-permissible value(s).

• n = 0

• n = 24

• n = -24

• n can be any real number

Find the non-permissible value(s).

• a = 0

• a = 10

• a = 1

• a = -1

Determine the non-permissible value of x. Record your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

• 8, 9
• -8, 10
• -8, -9

What is a non-permissible value?

• A value that makes the denominator equal to 0

• A number that makes the numerator equal to 0

• The solution

• An ostracized number
