Question

What is the largest value of $x$ such that the expression \[\dfrac{x+1}{8x^2-65x+8}\] is not defined?

Answer 1

The expression
`(x+1)/(8x^(2)-65x+8)` is undefined when its denominator is zero. The denominator factors as
(x-8)(8x -1)
so it will be zero for x = 1/8 and x = 8.

The largest value of x for which the expression is undefined is 8.
