Function
The !(#) is literally read as the _____________________________ (or EQUATION) of __________
x is −3# + 1.
!
((%) = −2% − 1 /(%) = 3% + 4 ℎ(%) = " %
USING FUNCTION NOTATION: Regardless of the change in the LOOK of the equation, function
notation still can be utilized to evaluate equations much like ‘normal’ equations.
I
!(15) = __________ 5
!(−8) = __________ 1
!(3) = __________
Function Notation can also be used to combine equations and find composite solutions.
Use the function !(#) = 4# and )(#) = # % − 1 to find the value of the expression !(1) + )(2).
!(#) = 4# )(#) = # % − 1
1. Identify what values of #
are being plugged into
each of the functions. f 1 g 2
Use the function !(#) = 2# and )(#) = 3# − 1 to find the value of the expression )(−1) − 3 ∙ !(2).
!(#) = 2# )(#) = 3# − 1
1. Identify what values of #
are being plugged into
