GENERAL MathEMATICS
LEARNING TARGET:
● I can evaluate a
function
Law of substitution
If a + x = b and x=
then
a +c= b
Example
To find the value of 2n-11 when n=12
2(12)-11
13
The function notation y = f(x) tells you that y
is a function of x. If there is a rule relating to
x, such as y = 3x + 1, then you can also
write.
The domain of a function
f is the set of values of x
for which f is defined.
The range of a function f
is the set of all values of
f(x), where x is an element
of the domain of f. Progress:
This input is represented by
x and the output by f(x). The
special notation f(x),
represents the valueof the
function at the number x.
X- values Function- values ,
f(x) = 3x + 1
f(4)=4+8 = 12
f(-2)=-2+8= 6
f(-x)=-x+8
f(x+3)=x+3+8
f(x+3)=x+11
Example
The price function p(x)=640-0.2(x) represents the price
for which you can sell x printed T-shirts. What must be
the price of the T-shirt for the first 3 entries in the table?
The price of the shirt for the first 3 entries are ₱540, ₱460
and ₱380.
THANKS
a lot!
