The given function is expressed as


f(x)\text{ = }\frac{(x\text{ - 2)}}{x\text{ + 3}}

To determine f(-1) and f(2), we would substitute x = - 1 and x = 2 into the function


\begin{gathered} f(-1)\text{ = }(-1-2)/(-1+3)=(-3)/(2) \\ f(2)=\frac{2\text{ - 2}}{2\text{ + 3}}=\text{ }(0)/(5)=0 \end{gathered}
