Study Notes
Evaluating Functions
- Evaluating a function in formula form is a simple process.
- The process involves substituting the input value into the formula, performing the necessary operations, and simplifying the result.
- For example, the function f(x) = 5 - 3x² can be evaluated by squaring the input value, multiplying by 3, and then subtracting the product from 5.
Functions Expressed in Formulas
- Some functions are defined by mathematical rules or procedures expressed in equation form.
- If a function output can be expressed with a formula involving the input quantity, then it can be defined in algebraic form.
- For example, the equation 2n + 6p = 12 expresses a functional relationship between n and p.
