Hi I need help!
Find f(3)
f(x) = (1/x, x > 3 ; 2x, x < or equal to 3)
How can i solve this problem?

Follow the instructions!

You are given two conditions: "x> 3" and "x< or equal to 3". Which of those does "3" satisfy?

Now do the calculation corresponding to that condition:

If "x> 3" then f(x)= 1/x.

If "x< or equal to 3" then f(x)= 2x.
