#(1-x)/(x^2)#

Explanation:

#"to evaluate "h(1/x)" substitute "x=1/x" in "h(x)#

#rArrh(1/x)=(1/x)^2-1/x#

#color(white)(rArrh(1/x))=1/x^2-1/x#

#"we can express this as a single fraction"#

#"multiplt the numerator/denominator of "1/x" by "x#

#rArr1/x^2-x/x^2#

#"denominators are common so subtract the numerators"#
#"leaving the denominator as it is."#

#rArrh(1/x)=1/x^2-x/x^2=(1-x)/x^2#
