General Mathematics: Evaluating Functions

This document discusses evaluating functions by replacing the variable with a value from the domain and computing the result. It provides examples of evaluating linear, quadratic, and cubic functions. The key steps are shown for evaluating f(x)=2x+4 when x=5, f(x)=5x^2 when x=2, and f(x)=x^3-2x^2+4x when x=3. Readers are then asked to evaluate functions when given values for x in exercises and a quiz.

Mathematics
Evaluating Functions
Objective:
At the end of the lesson, the learner is able to evaluate
functions and solve problems involving functions.

Evaluating functions means replacing the variable in


the functions, in the case x, with a value from the
functions’ domain and computing the result.
Review:

Degree of Functions
• Linear Functions – degree is 1 5x
• Quadratic Functions – degree is 2 2x2+ y
• Cubic Functions- degree is 3 3x3-2x2+1
Examples

Evaluate the following functions:


a.f(x)= 2x+4 when x= 5
= 2( 5) + 4
= 10+ 4
= 14

b. f(x) = 5x2 when x= 2


= 5(2) 2
= 5 ( 4)
= 20
Examples
Evaluate the following functions:
c. f(x) = x3- 2x2+4x when x= 3
= 33- 2(3)2+4(3)
= 27- 2(9)+ 12
= 27-18+12
= 27-30
= (-3)
Exercise:

Evaluate the following questions


a. f(x) = 3x when x= 3
b. f(x) = 2x3+ x2+4 when x= 2
c. f(x) = 5x2- 2 when x= 5
• 
Quiz

Evaluate the following functions:


1. f(x) = 3x2+7x x=4
2.f(x) = 7x-5 x= 6
3.f(x) = -5x+4x2 x= -2
