$t ne 8$

The restricted value of the variable $t$ must be determined by considering the denominator of the fraction.

The denominator of a fraction cannot be equal to zero:

$Rightarrow t - 8 ne 0$

$therefore t ne 8$

Therefore, the restricted value of the variable $t$ is $8$ .

How do you state any restrictions on the variable (t^2-4t-32)/(t-8)(t^2-4t-32)/(t-8)?
