Question

For which values of x will the rational expression below equal 0 check all that apply

Answer 1

Given the expression

`((x-5)(x+2))/(x+1)`

We can find the values of x that will make it zero below.ma

Step-by-step explanation

The value of x that will make the expression equal to zero can be gotten by equating the numerator to zero

`\begin{gathered} (x-5)(x+2)=0 \\ Therefore; \\ x-5\text{ = 0 and }x+2=0 \\ x=5\text{ and }x=-2 \end{gathered}`

Answer: 5 and -2
