Function Notation & Function Values
Using Function Notation - What is f(x)?
What is f(x)? It is a different way of writing “y” in equations, but it’s much more useful.
Function Notation
This lesson introduces function notation and provides several examples of determining function values.
Examples:
- Given f(x) = x2 - 5x + 6
find f(4), f(-3) - Given g(t) = -t2 + 2t - 12
find g(-3), g(3x) - Given h(y) = 2y2 - y + 7
find h(m - 2)
Find the Linear Function Given Two Function Values in Function Notation
This video introduces how function values in function notation gives points on the graph which can be used to determine the equation of the linear function.
Example:
Determine the equations of the linear function given
f(-1) = -7 and f(2) = -2
