00:01 So we're asked to evaluate the function f at the values of f of negative 2, f of negative 1, f of negative 1, f of 2.
00:07 Now we're given the equation x minus 2 over x plus 3.
00:11 So to do this, all we're going to do is substitute the value we're given inside our questions.
00:17 So like for the first one, it's f of negative 2, right? so that's going to, what we're going to do is substitute this negative 2 value.
00:24 And every time we see x in the equation, we're going to put in negative 2.
00:29 So let's go ahead and do that.
00:30 So we get negative 2 minus 2 all over negative 2 plus 3.
00:36 Negative 2 minus 2, that's minus 4 over 1.
00:41 That gives us negative 4.
00:44 F of negative 1, we get negative 1 minus 2 all over negative 1 plus 3...
