look

mathslover (mathslover):

Sierra, you just have to think that : for what value of y, does the equation becomes infinity or undefined. General forms may be like 1/0 or 0/0 or (anything)/0

mathslover (mathslover):

So, first of all , think that when will the denominator equal to zero? i.e. when will y-3 = 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+3=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

mathslover (mathslover):

Oh yes @gegomohamed , good point. Sorry, I went wrong there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after you take the common factor 3y what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gegomohamed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i'll tell you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we better take y not 3y i tell you why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it will be \[\frac{ y(3y-3) }{ y-3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathslover help me Am i right to here ??

mathslover (mathslover):

Sorry, I was not online, so can't respond. Well, you can simplify it like this : \(\dfrac{3y(y-3)}{(y-3)}\) = \(\dfrac{3y\cancel{(y-3)}}{\cancel{(y-3)}}\) = 3y
