For f(x)=1/x^2-3
Find
A) f(3)
B) f(2-h)
If f(x)=1/x^2-3, then f(3) = 1 / 3^2 - 3. The exponentiation here must be carried out first: f(3) = 1/9 - 3. Then f(3) = 1/9 - 27/9 = -26/9
If f(x)=1/x^2-3, then f(2-h) = 1 / [2-h]^2 - 3. This result may be left as is or expanded. In expanded form, we have:
1
f(2-h) = ------------------ - 3
4-4h +h^2
You would use PEMDAS, which means Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition" and then subtraction. You would solve the problem in that order
Answer : Slope = -4x/1
Explanation : The line is decreasing, which makes the slope a negative. And if you go down four spaces and to the right one space you have your slope.
It’s the first one ( quadratic )
