Final answer:
To find f(3) for the function f(x)=(x²-2)/(x+1), you substitute 3 into the equation and simplify to get 7/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to evaluate the function f(x)=(x²-2)/(x+1) at x = 3. To do this, we plug in 3 for x and simplify:
f(3) = ((3)² - 2) / (3 + 1)
= (9 - 2) / 4
= 7 / 4
So, f(3) = 7/4, which is the simplified answer.
