Find the nonpermissible replacement for N in the following expression :
-8/5n

We are given expression
[tex]\frac{-8}{5n}[/tex]
we know that
this is rational expression
And any rational expression is undefined when it's denominator =0
so, for finding non-permissible values of n , we set denominator =0
and then we can solve for n
denominator is 5n
[tex]5n=0[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex]\frac{5n}{5} =\frac{0}{5}[/tex]
so, we get
[tex]n=0[/tex]
So, the non-permissible replacement for n in this expression is 0.........Answer
The correct answer is
[tex]n=0[/tex]
[tex] EXPLANATION [/tex]
This is testing your knowledge on domain of rational functions.
To avoid division by zero, the denominator of the rational function
[tex]\frac{-8}{5n}[/tex]
should not be equal to zero.
Therefore the non permissible number can be found by equating the whole denominator to zero. That is,
[tex]5n=0[/tex]
We can now solve for n, to obtain,
[tex]n=\frac{0}{5}=0[/tex]
Hence that number is
[tex]n=0[/tex]
