1 of 2

Given f(x)=x24f(x) = x^2 - 4.

To find f(2)+f(h)f(2) + f(h), we replace xx with 22 and hh wherever xx occurs in f(x)=x24f(x) = x^2 - 4 and evaluate the right side :

f(2)+f(h)=[(2)24]+[(h)24]=44+h24=h24\begin{align*} f(2) + f(h) & = [(2)^2 - 4] + [(h)^2 - 4] \\ & = 4 - 4 + h^2 - 4\\ & = h^2 - 4 \end{align*}
