Perform the indicated operation.
3y2+12/3y2−15y divided by y4−16/y2−3y−10
the values that would be excluded from the domain are?
Solution
y2−3y−10y4−163y2−15y3y2+12=3y2−15y3y2+12⋅y4−16y2−3y−10
The excluded values will be all those values, for which each denominator in this fraction could be equal to 0.
In another words, we must find those y, when:
3y2−15y=0,y=0,y=5y4−16=0,y=2,y=−2
Answer: The excluded values for y are 0, 5, 2 and -2
