Function Notation and Evaluation
The functions f(x), g(x) and h(x). Click on the red diamond and sliding it left and right will change the value of x. The function values below each equation will update as x changes. Try sliding the diamond and observe how the values of f(x), g(x) and h(x) change as x changes.
After you are familiar with how the lab works answer the following questions. Write the answers down because they are on the Quick Quiz.
1. Move the diamond so that x = 3 and record the values of f(3), g(3) and h(3).
2. What is x when g(x)=16?
3. What is h(x) when f(x) = 3
4. Set x=0 and record the values of the three functions.
5. Set x =-1 (negative 1) and record the values of the three functions.
