Answer:

f(3) = \frac{-26}{9}

f(2 + h) = \frac{- 11 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

Required

Find f(3) and f(2 + h)

Solving f(3)

Substitute 3 for x in f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

f(3) = \frac{1}{3^2} - 3

f(3) = \frac{1}{9} - 3

Take LCM

f(3) = \frac{1 - 27}{9}

f(3) = \frac{-26}{9}

Solving f(2 + h)

Substitute 2 + h for x in f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{(2 + h)^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{(2 + h)(2 + h)} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{4 + 2h + 2h + h^2} - 3

f(2 + h) = \frac{1}{4 + 4h + h^2} - 3

Take LCM

f(2 + h) = \frac{1- 3(4 + 4h + h^2)}{4 + 4h + h^2}

f(2 + h) = \frac{1- 12 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

f(2 + h) = \frac{- 11 - 12h - 12^2}{4 + 4h + h^2}

Explain why multiplying two irrational numbers could result in either an irrational number or a rational number.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Because if you multiply 2 different irrational numbers (like the following)
\sqrt{3} \times  \sqrt{17}
You will get an irrational answer.

BUT
if you multiply the same square root (which are both irrational, you get a rational number)

\sqrt{3}  \times  \sqrt{3}  = 3

The area of the region in the first quadrant between the graph of y = k*sin(x) and x-axis (where k > 0 ) on the closed interv
astraxan [27]
Note that 0\le k\sin x\le k in the given closed interval, so the area is exactly given by the definite integral

\displaystyle\int_0^\pi k\sin x\,\mathrm dx

(no absolute values needed!)

Integrating gives

-k\cos x\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=\pi}=-k(\cos\pi-\cos0)=-k(-1-1)=2k
