Please help! Find the limit, if it exists.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -6}\frac{ 2x+12 }{ \left| x+6 \right|}\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

split it into 2 cases for denominator: case 1: x > -6 \[\frac{2x+12}{x+6} = \frac{2(x+6)}{x+6} = 2\] case 2: x < -6 \[\frac{2x+12}{-x-6} = \frac{2(x+6)}{-(x+6)} = -2\] therefore as you approach -6 from either side you get 2 different limits, thus Limit does not exist
