For f(x)=1/x^2-3, substitute h for x in the function to solve for f(h).

The required function of h i.e f(h) is expressed as

Substitution of a function means replacing a variable with another variable without changing the structure of such function. According to the function given, we can see that we are simply meant to replace x with h as shown below:

Given the expression

To get f(h), we will substitute f in place of x that is x -> h as shown

Hence the required function of h i.e f(h) is expressed as

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
