Find the critical values there should be 3:

 

f(x)= (3x^2 +3x +6 )/ (x^2+x-56)

 

help?????  i already got -1/2, and -7/75

f(x)=3x2+3x+6x2+x56=3585(1x+81x7)

 

Differentiating, f(x)=585(1(x+8)21(x7)2)

 

When f(x)=0,

(x7)2(x+8)2=02x+1=0x=12

 

Also, f(12)=775, so the critical point is (12,775), and there is only 1 critical point, not 3.

When I enter -1/2 it says partially correct!! It is asking for another value!

The complete answer is (-1/2, -7/75), with the brackets. You don't just enter -1/2 and call it done.
