Math Problem Statement
Solution
To analyze the problem:
We are tasked with determining which expressions are not defined at given the following:
Step 1: Examine each function at
-
: At , , which is defined.
-
: At , , which is undefined.
Step 2: Analyze each option
-
: involves adding (defined) and (undefined), so this expression is not defined at .
-
: involves subtracting (defined) from (undefined), so this expression is not defined at .
-
(product of and ): , which involves multiplication with an undefined term, so this expression is not defined at .
-
(composition of with ): , so . This is defined because .
Conclusion
The expressions not defined at are:
