SOLUTION: I'm supposed to evaluate this function and I can't figure it out.
f(x)=4x^2-1/x^2 (a) x=5 (b) x=-5
I keep coming up with
(2x^2-1)(2x^2+1)/x^2
and it's wrong. Can someone

Question 447989: I'm supposed to evaluate this function and I can't figure it out.
f(x)=4x^2-1/x^2 (a) x=5 (b) x=-5
I keep coming up with
(2x^2-1)(2x^2+1)/x^2
and it's wrong. Can someone help please? Answer by rwm(914) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You aren't supposed to factor it. You are supposed to evaluate it.
Plug 5 in for x and find f(5)
then plug in -5 for x and find f(-5)
