—————-
y^2+5y-36
If there is more than one value, separate them with a commas Answer by ikleyn(52891) (Show Source):
Excluded values are those and only those that make the denominator equal to zero.
So, in order for to find excluded values, you need to solve this quadratic equation
y^2 + 5y - 36 = 0.
To solve it, simply factor left side
(y+9)*(y-4) = 0.
ANSWER. Excluded values are -9 and 4.
