Function notation

​Remember, f(x) = 2x is the exact same thing as y = 2x. Function notation just allows us to name a function (so we can know if we're talking about function f, function g, function h, etc.) and it gives us information about the input values (the x inside the parentheses tells us that we'll plug the input values in for x).
