Answer

See diagram

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $$f(x)=\dfrac{3}{x-2}.$$ We build a machine diagram for $f$: the input values are the values from the domain of $f$, which is $(-\infty,2)\cup(2,\infty)$ and the output values are the corresponding values $f(x)$: $$\begin{align*} f(-1)&=\dfrac{3}{-1-2}=-1\\ f(1)&=\dfrac{3}{1-2}=-3\\ f(3)&=\dfrac{3}{3-2}=3. \end{align*}$$
