What is a Function

A function is usually represented by the letter f. In a equation it is usually written like f(x) (meaning f of x). This f(x) simply represents why in an equation. For example you can rewrite f(x)=3x-5 as y=3x-5. To use functions in equations, take whatever's in the x spot and replace it with the x's in the equation. For example for f(2)=3x-5 replace the x with a 2 like 3(2)-5 and the final answer is 1. You can also use functions in domains and intercepts. Here is another example of a function problem.

What I Learned This Week


This week I learned lots of fun things about math. First I learned about inequalities and set notations.  We learned how to express inequalities and write them in interval notation.  Also I learned to use the Sign Chart Method which is
  1. Make the inequality with a zero on one side
  2. Factor
  3. Mark where factors are zero
  4. In each interval determine the sign
I also learned about absolute value and its properties and I learned about the rectangular coordinate system and how to graph with inequalities. Lastly I I learned and circles and graphs, the equation of a circle, semi circles and symmetry. Here is a picture of my notes....
