What is the domain of a function?

Back

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

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

What is the difference between a linear function and a quadratic function?

Back

A linear function has the form f(x) = mx + b, while a quadratic function has the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c.

Front

If f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = x^2, what is g(f(2))?

Back

g(f(2)) = g(3(2) + 1) = g(7) = 7^2 = 49.
