How do you determine if a function notation is a solution Please give an example

Identify the input values. Identify the output values. If each input value leads to only one output value, classify the relationship as a function. If any input value leads to two or more outputs, do not classify the relationship as a function.

Example:

Given f(x) = x2 + 3x – 1, find

a) f(1)

b) f(–1)

c) f(a)

d) f(x – 1)

Solution:

a) f(1) = (1)2 + 3(1) – 1 = 3

b) f(–1) = (–1)2 + 3(–1) – 1 = –3

c) f(a) = a2 + 3a – 1

d) f(x – 1) = (x – 1)2 + 3(x – 1) – 1

= x2 – 2x + 1 + 3x – 3 – 1 = x2 + x –3

no i do not : ( what is it?

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply
