Answer :

Given rational expression is

[tex]\frac{-3n+12}{84n^2+76n+16}[/tex]

Find:

We have to find the value of n for which rational expression is undefined.

Explanation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-3n+12}{84n^{^2}+76n+16}=\frac{-3n+12}{4(21n^2+19n+4)} \\ =\frac{-3n+12}{4(21n^2+7n+12n+4)} \\ =\frac{-3n+12}{4(7n(3n+1)+4(3n+1))} \\ =\frac{-3n+12}{4(3n+1)(7n+4)} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, the given expression is undefined, when denominator is equal to zero.

i.e. when

4 (3n+1)(7n+4)=0,

when , (3n+1)(7n+4)=0

when,

either (3n+1)=0 or (7n+4)=0

when,

n= -1/3 or n= -4/7.

Therefore, the given expression is undefined for n = -1/3 or n = - 4/7.
