To simplify the expression (x^2+4x-21) / (x^2-49), we can factor the numerator and denominator:
(x^2+4x-21) = (x+7)(x-3)
(x^2-49) = (x+7)(x-7)
Now we can simplifly the expression:
[(x+7)(x-3)] / [(x+7)(x-7)]
The (x+7) terms will cancel out, leaving:
(x-3) / (x-7)
The non-permissible values are the values of x that make the denominator equal to zero. In this case, x cannot be equal to 7.
