Please help! I always have problems with functions. How would you go about solving this?

for all numbers y such that y doesn't equal 1, if f(y)= y^2-2/y+1. then (1/f(y))(1/f(2)) = ?

Did you mean, For all numbers of y such that y doesn't equal -1, f(y) = (y^2-2)/(y+1), then (1/f(x))(1/f(2)) = ?

f(x) = (x^2-2)/(x+1) (Replace y with x)
f(2) = (2^2-2)/(2+1) = 2/3 (Replace y with 2)

(1/f(x))(1/f(2)) = 1/(f(x)*f(2)) = (3/2)*((x+1)/(x^2-2))

no, the question says for all numbers y such that y doesn't equal 1.

As said by others, y cannot be -1, the function value will become infinite. Seems problem in the problem statement.
