Given h(x) = -x^2 + 3x, find h(5).

Back

h(5) = -10

Front

How do you read f(x)?

Back

f of x

Front

For the function f(x) = -3x + 3, find f(0).

Back

f(0) = 3

Front

If f(x) = 2x + 1, what would be your first step to find f(1)?

Back

Plug a 1 in for all the x's

Front

What is function notation?

Back

A way to represent a function using symbols, typically f(x), where f is the function name and x is the input variable.

Front

What does it mean to evaluate a function?

Back

To find the output of a function for a specific input value.

Front

If f(x) = 3x - 4, what is f(2)?

Back

f(2) = 2

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The set of all possible input values (x-values) for the function.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The set of all possible output values (y-values) for the function.
