  1. A function is a set of mathematical rules, that change a given input to an output.

a) f(2) = 4
b) f(7) = 17
c) f(0) = 0

  1. f(x) = (x/4) - 5

  1. Describe what a function does in your own words
    A function is a computation that takes an input and returns an output

  2. Calculate the output of the following function

  • a) f(2)
    4 (x to the power of two since it is even)
  • b) f(7)
    17 (x+10 since x is odd)
  • c) f(0)
    0 (0 to power of two is zero, since it is even)
  1. Write the definition of a function f that takes an input x, divides it by four and then outputs that result subtracted by 5.

f(x) = (x/4)-5

  1. Function is input and output !

  2. a) 2
    b) 17
    c) 0

  3. f(x) = (x/4)-5

A function is the information (input) given to a mathematical computation.
f2 =4
f7 =17
f0 =0

f(x) = x/4 -5

  1. A function is a mathematical term where you can have one input that you apply to the function, as called “variable”. This variable together with the function determines the output.

  2. For example: f(2)=4 ; f(3)= 13

  3. 4, 17, 0.

  1. A function is the written code for a calculation of an input resulting in an output.

  2. f(2) = 2^2 = 4
    f (7) = 7 + 10 = 17
    f (0) = 0^2 = 0

  3. f(x) = (x/4) - 5

Describe what a function does in your own words
A function is a calculation with an input and an output where X is the variable

Calculate the output of the following function

f(x) = {

x^2 if x is even

x+10 if x is odd

}
What will be the output for the following inputs?

a) f(2) x=4

b) f(7) x=17

c) f(0) x =0

Write the definition of a function f that takes an input x, divides it by four and then outputs that result subtracted by 5.

A function is a computation. A function will give you an output based on its use and based on the input. every variable is treated the same but may result in different outputs.

a.
f(2)=4

b.
f(7)=17

c.
f(0)=0 or f(0)=10 (is 0 odd or even? i think its none of these)

f(x)= (x*0.25)-5

  1. A rule applied to an input to create an output.

  2. a) 4 b) 17 c) 0

  3. f(x)=(x/4)-5
