Review of Function Notation and Evaluating Functions

Front

What is function notation?

Back

Function notation is a way to represent a function using symbols, typically written as f(x), where 'f' is the name of the function and 'x' is the input variable.

How do you evaluate a function at a specific point?

Back

To evaluate a function at a specific point, substitute the value of the input variable into the function's expression and simplify.

What does f(2) = 4 signify?

Back

It signifies that when the input to the function f is 2, the output is 4.

Front

What is the ordered pair representation of a function value?

Back

The ordered pair representation of a function value is (input, output), such as (2, 4) for f(2) = 4.

Front

How do you find h(11) if h(e) = 5^(e+3)?

Back

Substitute e with 11 in the expression: h(11) = 5^(11+3) = 5^14.

Front

What is the first step to evaluate f(1) if f(x) = 2x + 1?

Back

The first step is to substitute 1 for x in the expression, resulting in f(1) = 2(1) + 1.

Front

How do you read the notation f(x)?

Back

It is read as 'f of x'.

Front

What is the general form of a quadratic function?

Back

The general form of a quadratic function is f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

Front

How do you find the value of a quadratic function at a specific point?

Back

Substitute the specific point into the quadratic function and simplify.

Front

What does f(-2) - 4 represent in the context of a function?

Back

It represents the output of the function f at -2, minus 4.
