Understanding Function Notation and Substitution

The video tutorial explains how to use function notation by substituting variables with expressions. It demonstrates replacing X with X-3, simplifying the expression through multiplication and combining like terms, and concludes with the final expression. The tutorial emphasizes understanding function notation and the process of substitution.

What is the initial step when substituting an expression like X minus 3 into a function?

• Add 3 to X

• Replace X with X minus 3

• Multiply X by 3

• Divide X by 3
