Evaluating Functions Using Function Notation

If f(x) = x - 5, what is the value of x when f(x) = 15?

• 20

• 10

• 5

• 0

Given f(x) = -4x - 10 and f(x) = 10. Find x

• x = -5

• x = 5

• x = -50

• x = 30

What is the range?

• {-4, -1, 0, 2, 7}

• {-5, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, 4, 7}

• {-5, 0, 1, 2, 4}

• {5}

If a question asks you to find f(2), what does that mean?

• Let x = 2

• Let y = 2

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

• Plug a 1 in for all the x's

• Set the function equal to 1

• Only plug a 1 into the left side

• Only plug a 1 into the right side

If f(x) = 2x+1, what would the function look like once you substitute in a 1 to find f(1)?

• f(x) = 21+1

• f(1) = 2 (1) + 1

• f(1) = 2x (1) + 1

What is the value of f(0)?

• -2

• 2

• 4

• 0

The function c(m) = 1.45m + 3.50 represents the cost of a taxi for m miles.
What does c(7) represent?

• cost of $7 to ride the taxi

• cost to ride 7 miles

• minimum distance to ride a taxi

• minimum cost of a taxi

The function h(t) represents the height in inches of a plant after t weeks. What does the notation h(4) = 5 mean?

• After 5 week the plant is 4 inches tall

• The plant grows at a rate of 5/4 inch per week

• After 4 weeks the plant is 5 inches tall

• The plant grows at a rate of 1 inch per week

Ms. Brackemyer is collecting pencils.  The function p(x)=5x+12 tells us the total amount of pencils Ms. Brackemyer has after collecting for x number of days.  What is the meaning of p(8)=52?

• Ms. Brackemyer starts with 8 pencils and ends with 52.

• After 8 days, Ms. Brackemyer has 52 pencils.

• Ms. Brackemyer starts with 52 pencils and gets 4 more every day.

• Every day, Ms. Brackemyer gets 4 new pencils until she has 52.
