I suck at Algebra

QuestionCoveBot:

What do you think?

22west:

Honestly, I don't know. It looks like letters and numbers. I don't understand Function Notation.

22west:

I need help understanding this

QuestionCoveBot:

"Function notation is a simpler method of describing a function without a lengthy written explanation. The most frequently used function notation is f(x) which is read as “f” of “x”. In this case, the letter x, placed within the parentheses and the entire symbol f(x), stand for the domain set and range set respectively." (https://www.storyofmathematics.com/function-notation#:~:text=Function%20notation%20is%20a%20simpler,set%20and%20range%20set%20respectively) This might help.

22west:

Okay

22west:

So how do I figure out how to find which ones are functions?

QuestionCoveBot:

which ones have f(x) in them?

22west:

C

22west:

So that's one of them?

QuestionCoveBot:

Correct. And it's the only one.

22west:

Then why is it multiple choice?

QuestionCoveBot:

Wait no. It's not the only one. anything written like f(x) is function notation. f can be any letter. x can be any letter. So what other one is wrote like function notation?

22west:

So it can ba p(n)?

QuestionCoveBot:

Yes.

22west:

Okay. Those are the only 2?

QuestionCoveBot:

Yes. Correct.

22west:

Cool thank you
