this is a quadratic equation which graph is that of a parabola
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is a fancy way to write function notation, often seen as
\[f(x)=x^2+3x+4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\(T\) sends \(a\) to \(a^2+3a+4\)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
T:a-->a^2+3a+4
means
T is a function rule that maps 'a' to a^2+3a+4
essentially f(a) = a^2 + 3a + 4 is the function rule that you may be familiar with in terms of notation

I need a little more detail like my first problem was f(x) and i had to write f of x. something like that. Would that be how you write it satellite73?

i am not sure what the actual question is
do you have something other than
\[T:a\to a^2+3a+4\]?
OpenStudy (andijo76):
A(x)= 1/2x(5-x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i guess i am not clear
my question is, what is your question ?
what are you supposed to do with this?
OpenStudy (andijo76):
im supposed to tell how each is read
OpenStudy (anonymous):
"A of x equal one half x times the quantity five minus x "
