Question #N200
The function f(x) is defined as f(x) = (x^2 - 4)/(x-2), where x is not equal to 2. What is the value of f(3)?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 5
D. 7
Correct Answer is: C
We can simplify the function by factoring the numerator: f(x) = (x + 2)(x - 2)/(x - 2). Since x is not equal to 2, we can cancel out the (x - 2) terms, leaving us with f(x) = x + 2. Therefore, f(3) = 3 + 2 = 5.
