$f (f (\frac{1}{2})) = - \frac{3}{8}$ $f(f(1/2)) = -3/8$

$f (x) = \frac{1}{x - 2}$ $f(x) = 1/(x-2)$

$:. f(1/2) =1/((1/2)-2$

$= 1/((1-4)/2) = -2/3$

Hence, $f(f(x)) = f(-2/3)$

$=1/((-2/3)-2$

$= 1/((-2-6)/3) = -3/8$

Consider the function f(x)=1/(x-2)f(x)=1x−2f(x)=1/(x-2), then how do you simplify (f(f(1/2))?
