a: Ta có: \(A=\dfrac{3x^2-12x+12}{x^2-4}\)
\(=\dfrac{3\left(x^2-4x+4\right)}{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)}\)
\(=\dfrac{3x-6}{x+2}\)
b: Thay \(x=-\dfrac{1}{2}\) vào A, ta được:
\(A=\left(3\cdot\dfrac{-1}{2}-6\right):\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}+2\right)\)
\(=\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}-6\right):\dfrac{3}{2}\)
\(=\dfrac{-15}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{3}=-5\)
