Evaluating Functions and Function Notation

This video tutorial introduces function notation and how to evaluate functions. It covers the basics of function notation, demonstrates evaluating functions over a domain, and explains key concepts and common errors. The tutorial includes practice problems and a real-world example involving a petition to illustrate the application of functions.

What does the notation f(x) represent in function notation?

• f plus x

• f of x

• f divided by x

• f times x
