Understanding Linear Functions and Notation

The video tutorial explains function notation and terminology, focusing on the function f(x) = 2x + 3. It clarifies that f(x) represents output values for each input x, which are also the y-values of the function. The tutorial demonstrates that saying f(x) = 2x + 3 is equivalent to y = 2x + 3, and shows how to graph this linear equation. It emphasizes the equivalence of function notation and equation notation, highlighting different ways to express the same mathematical relationship.

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

• The input values of the function

• The output values of the function

• The slope of the function

• The intercept of the function

In function notation, what does f(x) = 2x + 3 imply about the relationship between x and y?

• f(x) is unrelated to y

• f(x) is the derivative of y

• f(x) is equivalent to y

• f(x) is the integral of y

How can the equation y = 2x + 3 be expressed using function notation?

• f(x) = 3x + 2

• f(x) = x + 3

• f(x) = 2x - 3

• f(x) = 2x + 3

What is the graph of the function f(x) = 2x + 3 also known as?
