Question 981326: Function Notation and Equations
Find the function values.
f(x) = x - 3
------
2x - 5
a. f(0)
c. f(-1)
d. f(3)
for problem a, I got -3/-5. Books answer for problem a is 3/5.
for problem c, I got -4/-7. Books answer for problem c is 4/7.
for problem d, I got 1. Books answer for problem d is 0.
Let me know if all or any of my answers are right. Help me if I'm wrong.

.
for problem a, I got -3/-5. Books answer for problem a is 3/5.
Simplify:%28%28-3%29%2F%28-5%29%29%28%28-1%29%2F%28-1%29%29=3%2F5
.
for problem c, I got -4/-7. Books answer for problem c is 4/7.
Same as above
.
for problem d, I got 1. Books answer for problem d is 0.
The numerator of d=f(3)=x-3=3-3=0 so the answer is 0
.
Except for simplifying, 2 out of 3.
