Question

I'm really confused about function notations?

Answer 1

For example, given f(x) = x^2
Solving for y = f(x-3) + 1

How come it doesn't become
y = f(x^2-3) + 1
???




And also, what kind of notation is y = f(x-3) + 1?

Answer 2

because u r replacing x by (x-3)
so f(x-3) = (x-3)^2

Answer 3

Hmm

Answer 4

now i feel it will help u !

Answer 5

Thanks
also
y = f(x-3) + 1 if it was written like .... f(x) = x-3 + 1

Answer 6

im making that up if it makes any sense...

Answer 7

oh nvm Im probabaly not making sense :<

Answer 8

y = (x-3)^2 + 1
