x^2-2x-24/x-6? The Lim is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x^2-2x-24}{x-6}\]\[\frac{(x+4)(x-6)}{x-6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question? are you taking the limit of that expression?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@el09roquerox ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the limit of the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as x approaches....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the limit is NOT 6 as you said in your post.... you meant as x approaches 6... in that case then @Romero has the correct approach....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry i got confused lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I figured it out though , thanks for the input :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can't have x-6 in the bottom because then you would divide by zero if we plugged in 6 now just follow what I did in the first posrt.

oh ok....
