Do I just sub one with 6 and one with -6

late bough
#

no

#

if u were to do that they would both be 6

#

but if u sub in 6 its dividing by 0

#

so cant do that

modern kiln
#

Oh okay I see

#

How do I do it then 😭

late bough
#

do they

#

probably do cuz thats why its got the 6+ and 6-

#

idk

#

do the hints

#

x^2/(x-6)(x+2)

modern kiln
#

Yeh I’ve done that

late bough
#

no idea what change of variables means

modern kiln
#

That’s the only reason why I’m confused

late bough
#

yeah i dont get the q if they diverge

#

just means that it tends to infinity

#

as x gets closer to 6 from the right the denominator gets smaller and smaller until u have 36/very small number which is infinity

#

as x tends to 6 from the left the denominator becomes -a very small number so 36/-a very small number is -inf

modern kiln
#

I got 36/0 for x 6-

#

Yeh :/

Okay I’ll attempt the question again
