Answer:

F(8) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


F(8)\text{ = }\frac{x^2\text{ - x - 56}}{x\text{ - 3}}

To find:

the function values using the rational function

To determine F(8), we will substitute x with 8 in the rational function


\begin{gathered} let\text{ F\lparen x\rparen = }\frac{x^{2\text{ }}-x\text{ - 56}}{x\text{ - 3}} \\ \\ F(8)\text{ = }\frac{8^2\text{ - 8 - 56}}{8\text{ - 3}} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} F(8)\text{ = }(0)/(5) \\ \\ F(8)\text{ = 0} \end{gathered}
