Equations that represent functions are often written in function notation.

y = 4x – 1

• this is read as ___________________________________

• ______ is the ________________ and _______ is the ________________

Function notation is especially useful for finding a value in


the range that corresponds to a certain domain value.

Example: If f(x) = 4x – 1, find f(-7).

17. Anthropologists use the length of certain bones of human skeleton to


estimate the height of the living person. One of these bones is the femur.
To estimate the height in centimeters of a female with a femur length of x,
the function h(x) = 61.41 + 2.32x can be used. Find h(46) and explain its
meaning.

Given the graph of f (x) ,find each function value.
