The expression that represents the function f(-1/c)​ is
\text{f(-1/c)}= (c + 2)/(c - 2)

How to evaluate the function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:


\text{f(c)} = (1 - 2c)/(2c + 1)

To calculate f(-1/c)​, we replace c with -1/c

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:


\text{f(-1/c)} = (1 - 2 * -1/c)/(2 * -1/c + 1)

Evaluate the products, we have


\text{f(-1/c)} = (1 + 2/c)/(-2/c + 1)

Take the LCM


\text{f(-1/c)}= ((c + 2)/c)/((-2 + c)/c)

Simplify the quotient


\text{f(-1/c)} = (c + 2)/(-2 + c)

Rewrite as


\text{f(-1/c)}= (c + 2)/(c - 2)

Hence, the expression that represents the function is
\text{f(-1/c)}= (c + 2)/(c - 2)

Question

If
\text{f(c)} = (1 - 2c)/(2c + 1) when c ≠ -1/2 then find f(-1/c)​
