Function Values

To represent the value of a function 𝑓 𝑥 at 𝑥 = 𝑎,

𝒇(𝒂ሻ
It denotes the value obtained when 𝑓 is applied to a number 𝑎.

To evaluate the function, we simply substitute 𝑎 to all the 𝑥 ′ s in

the function.

Example 1: If 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 6, then 𝑓 3 =?

 ODD AND EVEN FUNCTIONS

F i. A function 𝑓 is said to be an EVEN function if for every 𝑥 in the

U domain of 𝑓,
𝒇(−𝒙ሻ = 𝒇(𝒙ሻ
N
C ii. A function 𝑓 is said to be an ODD function if for every 𝑥 in the
domain of 𝑓,
T 𝒇 −𝒙 = −𝒇(𝒙ሻ
I
O Example 1: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 − 1
N f −𝑥 = (−𝑥ሻ2 −1
S = 𝑥2 − 1
f −𝑥 = 𝒇 𝒙 ∴ 𝑓 𝑥 is even

N 𝑔 −𝑥 = 3(−𝑥ሻ5 − 4 −𝑥 3 − 9(−𝑥ሻ ℎ −𝑥 = (−𝑥ሻ3 +2(−𝑥ሻ2 +1

C = −3𝑥 5 + 4𝑥 3 + 9𝑥 = −𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 + 1
T = − 3𝑥 5 − 4𝑥 3 − 9𝑥 ℎ −𝑥 ≠ ℎ 𝑥 ≠ −ℎ(𝑥ሻ
I 𝑔 −𝑥 = −𝒈 𝒙
O ∴ 𝑔 𝑥 is odd ∴ ℎ 𝑥 is neither odd nor even
