Function Notation
How to use the function Notation?
A basic description of function notation and a few examples involving function notation.
Example:
If g(t) = t² - 2t + 1

1. g(3t)
   
2. 5g(-1)
   
3. solve g(t) = 1
   If f(x) = 5x -2, h(x) = x²
   
4. 3f(x)
   
5. f(2x - 1)
   
6. -f(a)
   
7. Solve f(-x) = h(x) + 2
