(x+8)/[(x+5)(x-1)]
Expression in undefined where the denominator is zero;
that is at x = -5 and at x = 1.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! This expression is defined for all x except where that value of x makes the denominator 0.
So factor the denominator
When x equal 1 or x equal -5, the denominator is 0. Anything divided by 0 is undefined.
