You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x) = (x^2 - 8) / (x - 3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find f(-2), replace x with -2 to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(-2) = ((-2)^2 - 8) / (-2 - 3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(-2) = (4 - 8) / (-5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify further to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(-2) = -4 / -5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify further to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(-2) = 4/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the coordinate point on the graph will be (-2, 4/5)\r
