If the fraction is meaningful, then the condition that should satisfy is:
Pick one
Solution
To ensure the fraction is meaningful, the denominator must not be equal to zero. Thus, we set the denominator not equal to zero and solve for :
1. Start with the condition for the denominator: .
2. Solving this inequality gives us the condition for : .
Therefore, the condition that should satisfy to make the fraction meaningful is .
So, the correct answer is .
