Functions Introduction

Algebra
AIM
I can use function notation
and evaluate a function.

TOPIC: Function Introduction


DO NOW
Evaluating Functions
Consider the function y = 2x + 2, what is the
value of the function when x = 3?

Consider the function y = 6 – 3x2, what is


the value of the function when x = 1?
Evaluating Functions
When we evaluated the function y = 2x + 2 when x = 3,
we found y = 8.

x y
Making a Table
Make a table of values for the following function:
y = 3x – 4
What do you have to do to find values for the table?
Function Notation

f(x) = 3x – 4

This replaces y…
The function rule stays…
“This means when x is
this, what is y” This side of the expression
is used to find the output
Given f(x) = 3x – 4, evaluate f(4).

Given g(x) = 2x – 10, evaluate g(5).


More Practice
For k(x) = –2x3 + 1, find k(x) when x = 1.

Given m(n) = –4n + 7, find m(2).


EXIT TICKET
Evaluate each function for the given input
values:
1) For f(x) = 12x, find f(4):

2) For c(a) = a2 – 18, find a(2):
