For each function, find (a) ƒ(2) and (b) ƒ(-1). See Example 7. ƒ = {(2, 5), (3, 9), (-1, 11), (5, 3)}

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand that the function ƒ is given as a set of ordered pairs, where the first element of each pair is the input (x) and the second element is the output (ƒ(x)).

To find ƒ(2), look for the ordered pair where the first element is 2. The second element of that pair will be the value of ƒ(2).

To find ƒ(-1), look for the ordered pair where the first element is -1. The second element of that pair will be the value of ƒ(-1).

Write down the values you found for ƒ(2) and ƒ(-1) explicitly, matching the function's output to the given inputs.

Verify that the inputs 2 and -1 exist in the function's domain (the set of first elements in the ordered pairs) to ensure the function is defined at those points.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Notation and Evaluation

Function notation, written as ƒ(x), represents the output value of a function for a given input x. Evaluating ƒ(a) means finding the output corresponding to the input a by locating the pair (a, ƒ(a)) in the function's definition or graph.

Set of Ordered Pairs as a Function

A function can be defined as a set of ordered pairs where each input (first element) is paired with exactly one output (second element). Understanding this helps in directly identifying the output values for given inputs by searching the pairs.

Domain and Range

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values, while the range is the set of all possible outputs. Knowing the domain ensures that the input values you evaluate, like 2 or -1, are valid inputs for the function.
