To find [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex] for the given function [tex]\( f(x) = 12 - \frac{33}{x} \)[/tex]:
1. Start with the function rule:
[tex]\[
f(x) = 12 - \frac{33}{x}
\][/tex]
2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 3 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
f(3) = 12 - \frac{33}{3}
\][/tex]
3. Simplify the fraction:
[tex]\[
\frac{33}{3} = 11
\][/tex]
4. Subtract 11 from 12:
[tex]\[
12 - 11 = 1
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\( f(3) = 1 \)[/tex].
So the value of [tex]\( f(3) \)[/tex] is 1.
