      How Do You Find Excluded Values?

      Excluded values are values that will make the denominator of a fraction equal to 0. You can't divide by 0, so it's very important to find these excluded values when you're solving a rational expression. Follow along with this tutorial and learn how to find these excluded values!

      What's an Excluded Value?

      Excluded values are simply that: values that are excluded, or left out. These are values that will make the denominator of a rational expression equal to 0. Remember, you're not allowed to divide by 0, so these values are important to identify and exclude while solving. This tutorial shows you all about excluded values!
