Answer

$f(2)=\dfrac{10}{3}$ $f(0)=-8$ $f(-1)=-\dfrac{7}{3}$

Work Step by Step

To find $f(2), f(0), \text{ and } f(-1)$, substitute 2, 0, and -1, respectively, to $x$ to have: $f(2)=\dfrac{2+8}{2\cdot2-1}=\dfrac{10}{3} \\ \\f(0)=\dfrac{0+8}{2\cdot0-1}=\dfrac{8}{-1}=-8 \\ \\f(-1)=\dfrac{-1+8}{2(-1)-1}=\dfrac{7}{-3}=-\dfrac{7}{3}$
