Answer

(a) $q(0)=-\frac{1}{9}$ (b) It is not possible. (c) $q(y+3)=\frac{1}{y^2+6y}$

Work Step by Step

$q(x)=\frac{1}{x^2-9}$ (a) $q(0)=\frac{1}{0^2-9}=-\frac{1}{9}$ (b) $q(3)=\frac{1}{3^2-9}=\frac{1}{0}$ (it is not possible to divide by $0$) (c) $q(y+3)=\frac{1}{(y+3)^2-9}=\frac{1}{y^2+6y+9-9}=\frac{1}{y^2+6y}$
