Question

Find the illegal values of b in the fraction 2b^2+3b-10/b^2-2b-8

Answer 1

That is the ones that make the denomenator 0

b^2-2b-8=0
solve
factor
(b-4)(b+2)=0
b=4 and -2

answer is B

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:    

we have to find the illegal values of b in the fraction

$\frac{2b^2+3b-10}{b^2-2b-8}$

The values of b that makes the denominator 0 which are illegal values of b in the fraction

$\frac{2b^2+3b-10}{b^2-2b-8}$

$b^2-2b-8=0$

solve factor

$b^2-2b-8=0$

By middle term splitting method

$b^2-4b+2b-8=0$

$b(b-4)+2(b-4)$

$(b-4)(b+2)$

b=4 and -2

The correct option is B
