Evaluating Function Notation: What Does f(3) Mean?

The video tutorial covers evaluating functions by substituting values into given equations. It starts with evaluating f(4) using the function f(x) = 3x - 5, resulting in f(4) = 7. It then demonstrates evaluating H(-5) using H(x) = x^2, resulting in H(-5) = 25, and G(8) using G(x) = 7x + 2, resulting in G(8) = 58. The tutorial continues with more examples: G(-2), H(7), and F(-1), explaining each step in detail. The video concludes with tips on matching functions with variables and encourages viewers to practice independently.
