2. Analysis
Guide Questions:
Who can give an idea what is Law of Substitution about?
How to evaluate functions?
3. Abstraction
Definition: Evaluating function means replacing the variable in the function, in this
case x, with a value from the function’s domain and computing for the result. To denote
that we are evaluating f at a for some a in the domain of f, we write f(a).
Example 1. Evaluate the following functions at x = 1.5:
2 x +1
(h) g(h) = 2x + 1 (j) r(x) =
x−1
(i) q(h) = x 2−2 x+2 (k) F(x) = [x] + 1, where [x] is the greatest integer function.
Solution. Substituting 1.5 for x in the functions above, we have
(a) g(1.5) = 2(1.5) + 1 = 4
(b) q(1.5) = (1.5)² - 2(1.5) + 2 = 2.25 – 3 + 2 = 1.25
2 ( 1.5 ) +1 3+1
(c) r(x) = = =8
( 1.5 ) −1 0.5
(d) f(x) = {1.5} + 1 = 1+1 = 2
Example 2. Find (-4) and r(1) where g and r are as defined in the previous example.
Solution. This is not possible because -4 is not in the domain of g(x) and 1 is not in the
domain of r(x).
Example 3. Evaluate the following functions, where f and q are as defined in Example 1.
(a) f(3x – 1) (b) q (2x + 3)
Solution.
(b) q (2x + 3) = (2x + 3)² + 2(2x + 3) + 2
(a) f(3x – 1) = 2 ( 3x – 1) + 1
= (4x² + 12x + 9) – 4x -6 +2
=6x – 2 + 1
= 4x² + 8x + 5
= 6x - 1

(b) g(x) = x² - 3x + 5
3
(c) h(x) = √ x ³+ x+ 3

a. f(x) = x³ - 64
b. g(x) = |x ³−3 x ²+3 x−1|
