Function Notation

How would you write y = 2x - 3 in function notation?

• y = 2x-3

• f = 2x - 3

• f(x) = 2x-3

If a question asks you to find f(2), what does that mean?

• Let x = 2

• Let y = 2

If f(x) = 2x + 1, what would be your first step to find f(1)?

• Plug a 1 in for all the x's

• Set the function equal to 1

• Only plug a 1 into the left side

• Only plug a 1 into the right side

If f(x) = 2x+1, what would the function look like once you substitute in a 1 to find f(1)?

• f(x) = 21+1

• f(1) = 2 (1) + 1

• f(1) = 2x (1) + 1

If f(x) = -3x - 8, find f(-1).

• f(-1) = 5

• f(-1) = -5

• f(-1) = -12

• f(-1) = -10

If f(x) = 6x - 9, find f(4).

• (4, 1)

• (4, 33)

• (4, 15)

• (4, -7)

If f(x) = -4x - 5 and
g(x) = 3 - x,
what is g(-4) + f(1)?

• 7
• -2
• -9
• -10

Evaluate f(-2) if f(x) = x²+ 3

• -1

• 1

• 7

• -7

If h(a) = 3 - 2x², find h(-3).

• 33
• 21
• 39
• -15

What is f(1)?

• 1
• 5
• 0
• 4
