\[\frac{ y+5 }{ y^2 +4y-32 }\]

alones (alones):

i was thinking of y = 5 and 32

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite try factoring the denominator first

alones (alones):

Okay \[(y-4)\] and \[(y+8)\]?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

very good now, break it into its two factors and set each factor equal to 0 y - 4 = 0 y + 8 = 0 and solve for y

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(you will get 2 values)

alones (alones):

Oh i think i got it, \[y=4 , y=-8\]

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great!

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

for excluded values, the numerator usually doesn't have any affect
