  • Function Notation
    ::函数符号

    Every programming language has a specific way to write functions, and the language of mathematics is no different. Y ou have seen functions represented as a set of ordered pairs, in a table, as a mapping diagram, and on a graph. Functions can also be written using an equation . When equations are used to represent a function , they  are usually written in a specific way called function notation.
    ::每个编程语言都有写函数的具体方式,而数学的语言也是一样的。您已经看到函数代表了一组有顺序的对子,在表格中,在图表中,在图表中,在图表中。函数也可以用方程式来写。当方程式用于代表函数时,它们通常以特定的方式写成,称为函数符号。

    In the example above ,  the letter f  is the name of the function. There will be situations  that require more than one function, and nam ing  the functions helps to identify specific ones . Not every function will be named using the letter  f .  Other common function names include g , h , p , and  s .  Often, the letter chosen as a function name relates to the output, such as using the letter  v  to name a  velocity function, or  d  to identify a distance function.
    ::在上述示例中,字母 f 是函数的名称。 会出现需要多个函数的情况, 命名函数有助于识别具体函数。 不是每个函数都会用字母 f 命名。 其他常见函数名称包括 g、 h、 p 和 s. 通常, 以函数名称选择的字母与输出有关, 例如使用字母 v 命名速度函数, 或 d 来识别距离函数 。

    The x  lets the user know where to put the input value. The expression x 5  represents the output value, and describes what the function does (in this case, "take the input, and subtract 5 from it"). Since x 5  is equal to f ( x ) ,  being asked to find f ( x )  means to find the output.
    ::x 让用户知道将输入值放在哪里。 表达式 x- 5 代表输出值, 并描述函数的作用( 在此情况下, “ 获取输入, 从中减去 5 ) 。 因为 x- 5 等于 f( x) , 需要找到 f( x) 的输出方式 。


    Calculating Outputs
    ::计算产出

    When you want to put a value into the function, you substitute it in for x .  Writing f ( 7 )  means to substitute 7 into the equation, and find the output when x = 7.  If the output simplifies to 2, then we say that f ( 7 ) = 2.  The statement f ( 7 ) = 2  means that when you input 7 into the function, the output will be 2. This statement can also be written as the coordinate (7, 2).
    ::当您想要在函数中输入一个值时,您可以将其替换为 x。写入 f(7) 意味着在方程中替换 7, 并在 x=7 中找到输出, 如果输出简化为 2, 那么我们说 f(7)=2 。 语句 f(7)=2 意味着当您输入 7 函数时, 输出将是 2 。 这个语句也可以作为坐标( 7, 2) 写入 。

    Using Equations to Find Outputs
    ::使用查找产出的等量

    If you didn't already, you may wish to refer to t he lesson  to  explore how to write a rule for a function. These rules can be written as equations.  You can also use equations to write verbal descriptions of functions.
    ::如果您还没有, 您也许想参考该课来探索如何为函数写入规则。 这些规则可以作为等式来写。 您也可以使用等式来写函数的口头描述 。

    Example
    ::示例示例示例示例

    Tom is driving in his car at the constant speed of 30 miles per hour. Write a function to show the distance  the car traveled  in miles after x  hours.
    ::汤姆正以每小时30英里的恒定速度驾驶他的车。 写一个函数来显示汽车在x小时后行驶的距离 。

    You  may have encountered problems quite similar to this in the lesson , where you  would have  written equations to represent proportional and linear relationships. In the driving example here, you are dealing with a proportional relationship, because at 0 hours, Tom has traveled 0 miles. The constant of proportionality is 30, which gives you the equation y = 30 x .   You can write it as a function equation by simply replacing the y  with an f ( x ) .  Both equations represent a relation with an input and output, but using function notation identifies the relation as a function.
    ::您可能遇到过类似课程中的类似问题, 即您会用书面方程式来代表比例和线性关系。 在此处的驱动示例中, 您正在处理比例关系, 因为 Tom 是在 0 小时行驶了 0 英里。 比例的常数是 30 英里 , 给您以 y= 30x 。 您可以简单地用 f( x) 替换 y 来写成函数方程式。 两种方程式都代表了输入和输出的关系, 但使用函数符号将关系识别为函数 。

    Answer:  f ( x ) = 30 x
    ::答复:f(x)=30x

    ::摘要

    lesson content

    A function may be named with any letter you wish, but the most common are f,g,and h.The x term is replaced by the input value that you want to determine the output value for. The function statement f(x)=x−5 is read as "The function f, performed on the value x, is equal to x−5."
    ::函数可以用您想要的任何字母命名, 但最常见的是 f. g. 和 h. 。 x 术语被您想要确定输出值的输入值所取代。 函数对数 f( x) =x- 5 读作“ 以值 x 执行的函数 f, 等于 x- 5 ” 。
