Function Evaluation and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to determine function values using two functions, F and G. It provides two examples: the first involves calculating the sum of F(3) and F(-2), while the second involves finding the difference between G(-2) and G(3). The tutorial emphasizes the importance of careful substitution and simplification, particularly with signs. Both examples result in a final value of +15, demonstrating the process of evaluating function expressions.

What is the main focus of the first example discussed in the video?

• Product of two function values

• Sum of two function values

• Difference of two function values

• Quotient of two function values

How do you determine the value of F(3) using function F?

• Substitute 3 for W

• Substitute 3 for Z

• Substitute 3 for Y

• Substitute 3 for X

What is the recommended practice when substituting values into a function?

• Use square brackets around the value

• Use curly braces around the value

• Use parentheses around the value

• Use brackets around the value
