Answer :
b - 2 = 0 since you cannot divide by 0
b = 2 solve for b. this is where the function is undefined
b = 2 solve for b. this is where the function is undefined
Answer: The correct option is (2) [tex]b=2.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the exclude value for the following algebraic expression:
[tex]E=\dfrac{a}{b-2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
We know that
for a rational expression, we must exclude those values for which the denominator of the fraction becomes zero.
So, in equation (i), the excluded value will be given by
[tex]b-2=0\\\\\Rightarrow b=2.[/tex]
Thus, the required excluded value is [tex]b=2.[/tex]
Option (2) is CORRECT.
