Simplifying a Rational Expression Finding the excluded values. (What values of x make the rational expression undefined?) A rational expression is undefined when the value of x causes the denominator to equal zero. The expression is undefined when x = 3 Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x

Find the excluded value of the expression: A. (x-3)(x+5) C. (x+5)(x-3) B. X = 3, -5 D. X = -3, 5

Simplify the expression by dividing out the common monomials Factor numerator and denominator completely, then divide out common factors.
