Each function has a definition that tells what to do with the argument of the function (x, say) to get its value (y, say). For instance, the function f(x) = x + 20 says "take x, sum 20 to it, and the result is function f applied to x".

If your equation has parentheses, first perform the math inside and work your way out. Multiply and Divide numbers before Adding and Subtracting.

To evaluate a math function (f(x) = some stuff including x) at a particular value, say 2. Then everywhere that an x shows up, replace it with a 2. Then perform the operations on the right to come up with a number. Result is the answer. Example: f(x)=x^2+x-1, f(2)=2^2+2-1=5

take a function y = f(x) where x takes on a set of values. Let these numbers be whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) for simplicity. What y = f(x) means is that y equals some transformations to those whole numbers. If we let y = x + 2, then {x=1,y=3;x=2,y=4;x=3;y=5} for instance.

Given a function f(x) = whatever, to evaluate it you need to but in the number(expression) into every single x place. Example: f(x) = x^2 - x +1 f(2) = [2]^2-[2]+1 = 3 f(7) = [7]^2-[7]+1 = 43 f(&) = [&]^2-[&]+1

Evaluating a function means to plug in a value for the independent variable or variables and then calculating the value of the function with those value(s).

Answer by  njanetos (69)

A math function is simply an association between objects. An example is a function which associates each number with a number one higher. This would be written as f(x) = x+1. Then given some number, like 2, you add 1, and so this function associates 3 with 2.

Answer by  Andrew69bc (18)

to evaluate math functions, plug in the number to be evaluated into the function. for example, to evaluate F(x) = x-2; at x=3, plug 3 into the function for x: F(3) = 3 - 2 F(3) = 1

My subject is maths. And also i got 75% at my degree. In my opinion it is a powerful subject, because our day to day life is connected with math subject. For example, in our office, bank, etc. So we can evaluate math function is very common to our life
