EVALUATING FUNCTIONS

LEARNING OUTCOME(S):
The learner is able to evaluates function

Evaluate the following algebraic expressions, given that x = -3, y = 2 and z = -8.
1. xz – y →-3(-8) – 2 = 22
2. 4xy →4(-3)2 = 36
3. 2x + 3y – 6z →2(-3) + 3(2) -6(-8) = 48
4𝑥𝑧 4(−3)(−8)
4. → = 48
𝑦 2
5. -2z +7xy -5 →-2(-8) + 7(-3)(2) – 5 = -31

Evaluate the following at x = -3.
1. f(x) = 3x – 1 2. f(x) = 2x2 – 4x + 5

To evaluate Lookfind the value of the output f(x), given the input x
a function,
To evaluate a piecewise function at the given value of x, determine the domain or interval of the function where
x belongs, and substitute the value of x in the corresponding formula
