Homework Statement



[tex]\lim_{t \to 3^{+}} \frac {y+1}{(y-2)(y-3)}[/tex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I thought that this problem looked pretty straight forward but i am obviously doing something wrong. What I did was:

multiply the binomials:

[tex]\lim_{t \to 3^{+}} \frac {y+1}{y^{2}-5y+5}[/tex]

and then apply the limit:

[tex]\frac {3+1}{3^{2}-15+5} = \frac {4}{-1} = -4[/tex]

but this is WAY off because the answer is suppose to be infinity, so what did I forgot from the lesson?...

Check your multiplication again.
 
ha, yep, ok thanks
