simplify f(x) = 3x^2-4x+1/3x-1 Using complete sentences, explain why f(1) = 0, f(0) = -1 and f(-1) = -2 yet f( 1/3 ) is undefined. Make sure to show your work.

Question

$$f(x) = \frac{3x^2-4x+1 } { 3x-1}$$

I would start by factoring the numerator.

To answer the second part, what happens when $x = \frac{1}{3}$?

Okay, let's look at the denominator: $3x-1$
What do you get if you plug in $x = \frac{1}{3}$ in that?
