Final answer:
The student's question about evaluating the function f(x) = 3/x at points f(a+h) and f(a) is solved by substituting a+h and a into the function respectively, producing 3 / (a+h) and 3 / a.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve f(a+h), we substitute the expression a+h into the function f(x):
f(a+h) = 3 / (a+h)
This represents the value of the function f at the point a+h.
Similarly, to solve f(a), we substitute a for x in the function:
f(a) = 3 / a
This gives the value of the function f at the point a.
Both of these expressions are evaluations of the given function f(x) = 3/x at different points along the domain.
