What you'll learn

  1. Read $f(x)$ as the output value of the function $f$ at input $x$, and explain by counterexample why it does not mean $f$ times $x$
  2. Evaluate linear, quadratic, and polynomial functions at integer inputs, including negative inputs, using a parenthesized substitution step
  3. Evaluate a function at an expression input such as $f(a+1)$ or $f(3x)$
  4. Solve $f(x) = k$ for $x$, and distinguish that task from evaluating $f(k)$
  5. Translate a function-notation statement into a sentence about its context, and a sentence back into notation
  6. Read and evaluate two-variable notation $f(x, y)$, and explain why the order of the inputs matters
