Evaluating Functions Objective: To learn to evaluate functions from given domain values. function rule – is an equation that describes a function. An “input ⟶ output” machine
Function Rule & Function Notation
Example 1 Evaluate f(x) = -5x + 25 for x = -2
Example 2 Evaluate g(x) = 2 𝟒𝒙 −𝟕 for x = -5
Example 3 Evaluate h(x) = 4x² − 2x for x = -3
Example 4 Evaluate h(t) = -3t³ + 2t² – 4t for t = -3
Example 5
Writing Function Rules x Y 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8 Look for a pattern: Ask yourself “what can I do to X to get Y?” F(x) = x + ?
x Y 1 3 9 6 36 81 x Y 1 2 4 3 6 8
x Y 1 2 8 3 27 x Y -2 -8 -1 -4 1 4
x Y -8 64 -4 16 4 x Y 1 0.5 2 3 1.5 4
