evaluate the limit as x goes to -6: (18-3x)/(x+6)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the top looks like it can factor the bottom

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{-3(x+6)}{x+6}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so -3 is my guess :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have -18 in the num?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when it is 18 positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3(6-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[18-3x \iff -1(3x+18) \iff -1*3(x+6) \iff -3(x+6)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(6-x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cool! whats that called?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

umm... factoring ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

butm it still looks wrong to me :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you still have -18

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wiat, i think I see what your saying...

OpenStudy (amistre64):
