For Which Values Of X Will The Rational Expression Below Equal 0 Check All That Apply class=

Answer :

Given the expression

[tex]\frac{(x-5)(x+2)}{x+1}[/tex]

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

Explanation

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

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-5)(x+2)=0 \\ Therefore; \\ x-5\text{ = 0 and }x+2=0 \\ x=5\text{ and }x=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: 5 and -2
