Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Understand when a fraction is undefined.

    A fraction is undefined when its denominator is equal to zero. For the given expression 3x+22x+1\frac{3x+2}{2x+1}, the denominator is 2x+12x+1.

  2. Set the denominator equal to zero.

    To find the value of xx for which the expression is undefined, we set the denominator to zero:

    2x+1=02x+1 = 0
  3. Solve for xx.

    Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

    2x=−12x = -1

    Divide by 2:

    x=−12x = -\frac{1}{2}
  4. Compare with the given options.

    The calculated value x=−12x = -\frac{1}{2} matches option (b).

    The final answer is \boxed{\text{(b) -\frac{1}{2}}}.
