4.2 Function Notation

This document discusses function notation and using functions to solve problems. It provides examples of: 1) Finding the values of functions given their definitions. For example, finding f(4), f(-12), and f(a) given f(x) = 5x - 3. 2) Using a function table on a calculator to find the values of functions like f(x) = 3x + 2 and f(x) = 3x - x^2 + 2 for different values of x. 3) Solving word problems using functions to represent relationships and find unknown values, like using a function to determine the value of a copier after a certain number of years.

Function Notation

A lot of mathematical operations can be communicated using function notation. Remember that the letter of
the function (f, g, h…etc) is the name of the function, the letter in the brackets (x, t ….etc) is the variable or
domain.
