(a)
Find the simplified form of the expression and state any excluded values.
(a)
Answer to Problem 3P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept Used:
Simplification of rational expression means cancel out the common factors from the numerator and denominator.
In any rational function, the denominator cannot be zero.
To find the excluded value of the function, make denominator equal to zero and simplify
Calculation:
Thus,
