Function Notation

2.2 Function Notation Function Notation a way of making a very simple concept more mathematically elegant. Ex: Mr. Goodman charges $40/month to be a member of his tutoring club, plus you must pay an extra $10 every time you visit the club, y = to(6) #40 a) How much does it cost you to visit the club 6 times ina month? ! = [co (00 =10% 44 b) If you have $100 to spend, how many times can you visit the club in a month? 3 mex =X | Solve with an Equation Solve with a Table of Values | @. | y = 10x +40 [a Ye Catt) ee byt cic | Y= [od J =k [ Solve by Graphing Solve with Function Notation Evaluate given f(x) = 10x + 40 (a) #6) F(6)= fox +40 | = (o(@) 40 | | = (00 'b) f(x) = 100 f (Oy 4 ft visi : rex ‘An equation that is a function can be named using function notation.
