How would you use your
calculator to solve 52
?
The number you entered is the input
number (or x-value on a graph).
The result is the output number (or y-
value on a graph).
The x2
key illustrates the idea of a
function.

4. A function is a relation that gives a single
output number for every valid input number.
A function is a relation that gives a single
output number for every valid input number.
There are many ways to represent relations:There are many ways to represent relations:
A relation is a rule that produces one or more
output numbers for every valid input number.
A relation is a rule that produces one or more

Math 10C

13. Functional Notation
An equation that is a function
may be expressed using
functional notation.
The notation f(x) (read “f of (x)”)
represents the variable y.

14. Example:
y = 2x + 6 can be written as f(x) = 2x + 6.
Given the equation y = 2x + 6, evaluate when x = 3.
y = 2(3) + 6
y = 12
Functional Notation Cont’d

15. For the function f(x) = 2x + 6, the notation f(3) means
that the variable x is replaced with the value of 3.
f(x) = 2x + 6
f(3) = 2(3) + 6
f(3) = 12
Functional Notation Con’t

16. Given f(x) = 4x + 8, find each:
1. f(2)
2. f(a +1)
3. f(−4a)
Evaluating Functions
= 4(2) + 8
= 16
= 4(a + 1) + 8
= 4a + 4 + 8
= 4a + 12
= 4(-4a) + 8
= -16a+ 8

17. If f(x) = 3x − 1, and g(x) = 5x + 3, find each:
Evaluating More Functions
= [3(2) -1] + [5(3) + 3]
= 6 - 1 + 15 + 3
= 23
= [3(4) - 1] - [5(-2) + 3]
= 11 - (-7)
= 18
= 3[3(1) - 1] + 2[5(2) + 3]
= 6 + 26
= 32
1. f(2) + g(3)
2. f(4) - g(-2)
3. 3f(1) + 2g(2)
