what are the restrictions on this rational expression? y=6/4x+24

Question

what is the restriction

Answer 1

Well, to determine the restriction on any rational expression, we simply take its denominator (in this case that's 4x) and set it equal to 0. 

It's really that simple!

So, y = 6/(4x) + 24 is our expression.

The denominator is 4x.

To find the restriction we do: 4x = 0 and then solve. 

Doing so, we soon discover that x simply equals 0.

Therefore, your restriction is: x cannot = 0
