Really tough maths desperate need of help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi been trying to solve this question for the past 20 odd minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(X) = 1 (over) x^2-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm suppose to find f(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then f(2+h)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first one i got 1 over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-3}}\) To find f(2), \(\Large\color{black}{ f(2)=\frac{1}{(2)^2-3}=\frac{1}{4-3}=1/1=1}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Find f(3) the same way, plug in 3 for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did f(3)= 1 over 3^2-3= 1 over 9-3= 1 over 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you see where i went wrong @SolomonZelman ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Right, it is \(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{1}{6} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok great :) what about the next part (this part im really confused about) f(2+h) thanks again for your help @SolomonZelman
