6-y/y^2-2y-24=?
*I don't get it at all!!!
You need parentheses around portions of this thing so we know what the problem is.
To evaluate the expression 6 - y / (y^2 - 2y - 24), we first need to simplify the denominator and then perform the division.
Step 1: Simplify the denominator.
The denominator, y^2 - 2y - 24, can be factored as (y - 6)(y + 4).
Step 2: Substitute the factored denominator into the expression.
The expression now becomes 6 - y / ((y - 6)(y + 4)).
Step 3: Perform the division.
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. In this case, we need to multiply by 1 / (y - 6)(y + 4).
The final expression becomes:
(6*(y - 6)(y + 4) - y) / ((y - 6)(y + 4))
Now that we have simplified the expression, we need more information to proceed. Is there any specific value of y that you would like to substitute into the expression to find the result?
