Can anyone help me understand Function Notation?

OpenStudy (shamil98):

do you have a specific problem ?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Hold on

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

I don't have one in specific, I just don't get the whole f(x) thing

OpenStudy (linda3):

Traditionally, functions are referred to by the letter name f, but f need not be the only letter used in function names.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

f(x) = 2x+3 + 5x Evaluate f(3) all you do is substitute 3 into x. this becomes f(3) = 2(3) + 3 + 5(3) f(3) = 24

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

Oh!! So the x just needs to be substituted?

OpenStudy (linda3):

yes
