We cannot divide by 0, therefore the excluded values can be written as:
m 2 - 6 m + 5 0
Factoring gives:
( m - 5 ) ( m - 1 ) 0
Solving each term for 0 will give the values of m which are excluded:
Solution 1)
m - 5 0
m - 5 + 5 0 + 5
m - 0 5
m 5
Solution 1)
m - 1 0
m - 1 + 1 0 + 1
m - 0 1
m 1
The excluded values are: m 5 and m 1
