what are the excluded values of the function? y= 5 / 6x-72

1 answer

The excluded value(s) of a function are the value(s) of the variable that make the denominator of the function equal to zero, as division by zero is undefined.

In the given function y = 5 / (6x - 72), the denominator is (6x - 72). To find the excluded value(s), we need to solve the equation:

6x - 72 = 0

Adding 72 to both sides:

6x = 72

Dividing by 6:

x = 12

Therefore, the excluded value of the function is x = 12. This means that x cannot be equal to 12 for the function to be defined.
