Evaluating Functions Effectively

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate functions using given function rules. It covers the evaluation of functions with both numbers and variables, demonstrating the application of PEMDAS for simplifying expressions. The tutorial includes examples of evaluating f(x) with numbers, f(a) and H(-5x) with variables, and more complex expressions like G(3b), H(x+5), F(4x^2+3), and G(x-2). The process involves substituting values or expressions into the function rules and simplifying the results.

What is the first step in evaluating a function?

• Subtract 3 from the given number

• Multiply the given number by 2

• Identify the function rule

• Add the given number to the function
