Understanding function notation like (f(x)) is really exciting! Let’s break it down together!

1. What is (f(x))?

   • Here, (f) is just the name of the function.
   • The (x) is a number you put into the function, and (f(x)) tells us what you get out when you use that (x) value.

2. Domain and Range:

   • Domain: This is all the possible input values (the (x) values) you can use for the function.
   • Range: This is all the possible output values (the (f(x)) values) you can get from the domain.

3. Example Fun: If (f(x) = 2x + 3), then when you plug (1) into it, you get (f(1) = 2(1) + 3 = 5). So, the function takes (1) as input and gives (5) as output!
