$$\\frac{6!}{4!2!}=15.$$

$$(2x)^{6-4}=(2x)^2=4x^2.$$

$$(-3y)^4=81y^4.$$

Multiply all parts:

$$15\\cdot4x^2\\cdot81y^4.$$

$$\\sin A\\cos B-\\cos A\\sin B=\\sin(A-B).$$

Which of the following functions could represent $$f(x)$$ if $$\\lim_{x\\to0^-}f(x)=\\infty$$ and $$\\lim_{x\\to0^+}f(x)=-\\infty$$?

We need a function with a vertical asymptote at $$x=0.$$

Check:

$$f(x)=-\\frac{1}{x}.$$

If $$x\\to0^-,$$ then $$\\frac{1}{x}\\to-\\infty,$$ so:

$$-\\frac{1}{x}\\to\\infty.$$

If $$x\\to0^+,$$ then $$\\frac{1}{x}\\to\\infty,$$ so:

This matches both conditions.
