Question
Find the excluded values, of the following expression
`(x^3 - 27)/(x^3 + x^2 - 6x)`
Solution
`(x^3 - 27)/(x^3 + x^2 - 6x)`
x3 – 27 = x3 – 33
= (x – 3) (x2 + x + 3)
x3 + x2 – 6x = x(x2 + x – 6) = x (x + 3) (x – 2)
`(x^3 - 27)/(x^3 + x^2 - 6x) = ((x - 3)(x^2 + x + 3))/(x(x + 3)(x - 2))`
The expression `((x - 3)(x^2 + x + 3))/(x(x + 3)(x - 2))` is undefined
when x (x + 3) (x – 2) = 0
x = 0 or x + 3 = 0 or x – 2 = 0
x = 0 or x = – 3 or x = 2
The excluded values are 0 , – 3 and 2

Two farmers Thilagan and Kausigan cultivates three varieties of grains namely rice, wheat and ragi. If the sale (in ₹) of three varieties of grains by both the farmers in the month of April is given by the matrix.

A = `[(500, 1000, 1500),(2500, 1500, 500)]"Thilagan"/"Kausigan"`
and the May month sale (in ₹) is exactly twice as that of the April month sale for each variety.
If the sales continue to increase in the same way in the successive months, what will be sales in the month of August?
