a)

( 2x+1 ) / ( x-2 )

To determine non-permissible values.Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x - 2 = 0      x = 2.

Given rational expression is undefined at x = 2.

Hence , non-permissible value : x = 2.

b)

( 7x) / ( x²-16 )

To determine Non-permissible values. Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x² - 16 = 0    x² = 16     x = √16   ⇒   x = ± 4

Given rational expression is undefined at x = - 4  and 4 .

Hence , non-permissible values : x = 4 , - 4.

c)

( 5x + 3) / ( x² + 9x + 20 )

To determine Non-permissible values.Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x² + 9x + 20 = 0    x² + 5x + 4x + 20 = 0

   x(x + 5) + 4(x + 5) = 0      (x + 4)(x + 5) = 0

(x + 4) = 0 ; (x + 5) = 0

x = - 4  ; x = - 5.

Given rational expression is undefined at x = - 4  and – 5.

Non-permissible values : x = - 4 , - 5.

d)

( 4x+9 ) / ( 3x²-12x-36 )

To determine Non-permissible values. Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     3x² - 12x - 36 = 0     3 ( x² - 4x – 12 ) = 0    x² –  4x – 12  = 0

   x² - 6x + 2x - 36 = 0     x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6) = 0      (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0

  (x - 6) = 0 ; (x + 2) = 0

  x = 6  ; x = - 2.

Given rational expression is undefined at x = 6  and – 2.

Hence , Non-permissible values : x = 6 , 2.

e)

( 3x - 8 ) / ( x² + 5x )

To determine Non-permissible values. Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x² + 5x = 0     x ( x + 5 ) = 0

  x = 0 ; (x + 5) = 0

  x = 0  ; x = - 5.

Given rational expression is undefined at x = 0  and – 5.

Hence , Non-permissible values : x = 0 , 5.

g)

( 3x - 8 ) / ( x³ - 25x )

To determine Non-permissible values. Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x² - 25x = 0     x ( x² - 25 ) = 0

  x = 0 ; (x² - 25) = 0

  x = 0  ; x² = 25.

  x = 0  ; x = 5  ;  x = -5.                   (   x² = 25  ⇒  x = √25  ⇒  x = ± 5 )

Given rational expression is undefined at x = 0  5 and -5.

Hence , Non-permissible values : x = 0 , 5 , - 5.

h)

( 6x - 7) / ( 5(x-2)(x+6) )

To determine Non-permissible values.Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     5(x-2)(x+6) = 0   (x - 2)(x + 6) = 0

(x - 2) = 0 ; (x + 6) = 0

x = 2  ; x = - 6.

Given rational expression is undefined at x = 2  and – 6.

Hence , Non-permissible values : x = 2 , - 6.

f)

( 9x - 2 ) / ( x² + 8 )

To determine Non-permissible values. Take the denominator and make it equal to zero.

Denominator = 0     x² + 8 = 0    x² = - 8      x = √(-8)

x is imaginary value.

Hence , Given rational expression does not have Non-permissible values.
