Learn how to evaluate a limit by factoring

The video tutorial explains how to solve a mathematical problem involving limits. It begins by identifying a potential issue with the denominator when plugging in a value. The instructor then demonstrates the need to factor the expression to simplify the problem. By applying the division property, the function is further simplified. Finally, the function is evaluated by plugging in a specific value, leading to the calculation of the limit.

What is the significance of having a zero in the denominator?

What does the expression X - 6 * X + 1 represent?

Explain the division property as applied in this context.

What is the function represented by X - 6?

How do you evaluate the limit as X approaches -1?
