If y <-2
abs%28y%2B2%29%2F%28y%2B2%29
lets see if there is a pattern.
y . . . . . . . . . . . . -3 . . . . . -4 . . . . . -5 . . . . . -6
abs(y+2) . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . .2 . . . . . .. 3 . . . . . . 4
y+2 . . . . . . . . . . -1 . . . . .-2 . . . . . . -3 . . . . . -4
we see that we get -1 every time
