EVALUATES A FUNCTION
Background Information for the Learners
In this topic, you will learn about evaluating functions. To evaluate a function
is simply to substitute/replace a certain variable with a give number or expression,
in this case we refer the x variable. We then write 𝑓(𝑎) to show that 𝑓 is being
evaluated at 𝑎 for some 𝑎 in the domain of 𝑓.
Example 1.
Evaluate the given functions at 𝑥 = 2
1. 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 5𝑥 + 8
2. 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 4
3. ℎ (𝑥 ) = |𝑥 + 3 | − 2
4. 𝑡(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 3 − 5𝑥 2
5. 𝑝(𝑥 ) = ⌈𝑥 ⌉ + 5, where ⌈𝑥⌉ is the smallest integer greater than or equal x.
Solution:
1. 𝑓 (2) = 5(2) + 8 = 18
2. 𝑔(2) = (2)2 + 3(2) − 4 = 6
3. ℎ (2 ) = |2 + 3 | − 2 = 3
4. 𝑡(2) = (2)3 − 5(2)2 = −12
5. 𝑝( 2 ) = ⌈ 2 ⌉ + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
