Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The expression you provided is a rational function, which is a ratio of two polynomials. In your case, the function is f(x)=x−213​

.

For this function, there is a restriction on the denominator because the denominator cannot be equal to zero (as division by zero is undefined in mathematics). Therefore, we set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:

x−2=0

Solving this gives us x = 2.

So, the value x = 2 is restricted for the function f(x)=x−213​

. This means the function is undefined at x = 2

Answer:

restricted value is x = 2

Explanation:

given the rational expression


(13)/(x-2)

The denominator cannot be zero , as this would make the rational expression undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.

x - 2 = 0 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 2 ← restricted value
