Question 705183: My question is on rational expressions. It says "Determine when the rational expression is undefined" and the problem is %282x%2B1%29%2F%28x-2%29. I have tried to make the denominator equal zero but that didn't work.

Try again. What values of x will not work in the rational expression? Make the denominator become zero. What value of x would this be? Why can you not let x equal that number?

If you will set the denominator to zero and solve for x, then you will know for which value of x the denominator will be zero.
