The expression is undefined when the denominator is 0.


\n" ); document.write( "\"%28z%5E2%29-4z-5=0\"


\n" ); document.write( "Factor it:


\n" ); document.write( "\"%28z%2B1%29%28z-5%29=0\"


\n" ); document.write( "Set each = 0 to find the x-value that makes it 0.


\n" ); document.write( "z+1 = 0


\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 from both sides.


\n" ); document.write( "z=-1


\n" ); document.write( "z-5=0


\n" ); document.write( "Add 5 to both sides.


\n" ); document.write( "z=5


\n" ); document.write( "The expression is undefined when z=-1 and when z=5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
