Evaluate Functions

Front

What is a function in mathematics?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be evaluated at a specific point?

Back

Evaluating a function at a specific point means substituting that point into the function's equation to find the corresponding output value.

How do you find the output of a function given an ordered pair?

Back

To find the output of a function given an ordered pair, identify the input from the pair and look for the corresponding output in the function's definition or table.

Front

What is the significance of ordered pairs in functions?

Back

Ordered pairs represent the relationship between inputs and outputs in a function, where the first element is the input and the second element is the output.

Front

How can you determine if a value is in the range of a function?

Back

A value is in the range of a function if there exists at least one input that, when substituted into the function, produces that value as an output.

Front

What does it mean to solve for x in the context of a function?

Back

Solving for x in the context of a function means finding the input value(s) that produce a specified output value.

Front

What is the process for finding f(0) if f(x) is defined?

Back

To find f(0), substitute 0 into the function's equation and simplify to find the output.

Front

How do you interpret the notation f(x)?

Back

The notation f(x) represents the output of the function f for a given input x.

Front

What is the difference between finding f(x) and solving f(x) = k?

Back

Finding f(x) involves calculating the output for a specific input, while solving f(x) = k involves determining the input(s) that yield a specific output k.

Front

What is the role of the domain in a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values for which the function is defined.
