Question 326291: find all the numbers for which the rational expression is undefined? 1 over 8w plus 1. its in fraction mode. Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, nyc_function:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The function is undefined when the denominator equals zero since division by zero is undefined.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/(8w + 1)
To find the number that makes this fraction undefined, set the denominator to zero and solve for w.
8w + 1 = 0
8w = -1
w = -1/8
This means that w can be any number EXCEPT for the fraction -1/8.
If w is replaced with -1/8, it will create a zero in the denominator making the entire fraction undefined because we cannot divide by zero.
