Find Where Undefined/Discontinuous y=5/((x+1)^2)

$y = \frac{5}{{(x + 1)}^{2}}$

Step 1

Set the denominator in $\frac{5}{{(x + 1)}^{2}}$ equal to $0$ to find where the expression is undefined.

${(x + 1)}^{2} = 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Set the $x + 1$ equal to $0$ .

$x + 1 = 0$

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 1$
