a) Để M xác định thì \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}x\ne2\\x\ne-2\end{matrix}\right.\)
b) \(M=\dfrac{x^3}{x^2-4}-\dfrac{x}{x-2}-\dfrac{2}{x+2}=\dfrac{x^3}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\dfrac{x\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\dfrac{2\left(x-2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{x^3}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\dfrac{x^2+2x}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}-\dfrac{2x-4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{x^3-x^2-2x-2x+4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{x^3-x^2-4x+4}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{x^2\left(x-1\right)-4\left(x-1\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}=x-1\)
