$\frac{2 x}{2} \geq \frac{0}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} \geq \frac{0}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x \geq \frac{0}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $0$ by $2$ .

$x \geq 0$

Step 5

Set the denominator in $\frac{\sqrt{8 x^{2}}}{\sqrt{2 x}}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$\sqrt{2 x} = 0$

Step 6

Solve for $x$ .

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation.

${\sqrt{2 x}}^{2} = 0^{2}$

Simplify each side of the equation.

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{2 x}$ as ${(2 x)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

${({(2 x)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2} = 0^{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${({(2 x)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$ .

Multiply the exponents in ${({(2 x)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

${(2 x)}^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2} = 0^{2}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.
