Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the domain of the function
00:03 According to mathematical laws, division by 0 is forbidden
00:06 Since there's a variable in the denominator, we must ensure it's not 0
00:09 To do this, we'll set the denominator to 0 and solve
00:13 Calculate the multiplication
00:30 Isolate the variable Y
00:45 This is the Y value where the denominator equals 0
00:49 Therefore, the domain requires Y to be different from the solution
00:53 This way we ensure we're not dividing by 0
00:57 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Understand that the equation 25a+4b7y+43+2=9b\frac{25a+4b}{7y + 4 \cdot 3 + 2}=9b is undefined when the denominator equals zero.
  • Step 2: Simplify the denominator: 7y+43+27y + 4 \cdot 3 + 2.
  • Step 3: Calculate the constant part: 43=124 \cdot 3 = 12, so the expression becomes 7y+12+27y + 12 + 2.
  • Step 4: Combine constants: 12+2=1412 + 2 = 14. The denominator is 7y+147y + 14.
  • Step 5: Set the denominator equal to zero to find values of yy that make the equation undefined: 7y+14=07y + 14 = 0.
  • Step 6: Solve for yy:
    • Subtract 14 from both sides: 7y=147y = -14.
    • Divide by 7: y=2y = -2.

Therefore, the equation is undefined when y=2y = -2. The field of application excludes y=2y = -2.

The choice that reflects this is y2\boxed{y \neq -2}.

Answer

y2 y\operatorname{\ne}-2
