Indicated function values

Question

when F=(a+h)

 

F(X)=3X-1/X-5 

Answer 1

F(X)=3X-1/X-5  PROBABLY SHOULD BE A RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC FUNCTION SO IT MUST BE WRITTEN AS

F(X)=(3X-1) / (X-5).

 

you are probably being asked to write F(a+h); that is [3(a+h) - 1] / [a+h-5]

and this could be simplified, by applying the distributive property in the numerator..

 

F=(a+h) should have been written as F(a+h), correctly.
