Usually very little.
f(x) simply denotes the function f except that with this notation it is explicit that f(x) is a function of the variable x (and only x).
So, f = x + 3 and f(x) = x + 3 are equivalent.
However, there will be times, with functions of more than one variables where you wish to consider only one of the arguments while holding the other argument constant.

What is the difference etween f and f(x)?
Usually none. A function can be identified as f but it is more often denoted by f(x) to show that it is a function of x.
What is the difference between Taylor series and Maclaurin series?
A Maclaurin series is centered about zero, while a Taylor series is centered about any point c. M(x) = [f(0)/0!] + [f'(0)/1!]x +[f''(0)/2!](x^2) + [f'''(0)/3!](x^3) + . . . for f(x). T(x) = [f(c)/0!] + [f'(c)/1!](x-c) +[f''(c)/2!]((x-c)^2) + [f'''(c)/3!]((x-c)^3) + . . . for f(x).
What is the derivative of e-5x?
Looks like simple difference formula work here. f(x) - g(x) = f'(x) - g'(x) e - 5x = e - 5 =====
Are shifts sin cos tan equal to csc sec cot respectively?
No, they are the inverse functions, while csc, sec and cot are the reciprocal functions. To illustrate the difference, the inverse of f(x) = x+3 is f-1(x) = x-3 But the reciprocal of f(x) is 1/f(x) = 1/(x+3)
What is the difference between open bracket and closed bracket in limits?
( ) is a<x<b, ( ] is a<x<=b, [ ) is a<=x<b, [ ] is a<=x<=b. If there is no [ or solid bracket then there isn't a filled in dot, meaning that that number is not included. There is only a filled in dot when there is a solid bracket.
What is the difference between even and odd polynomial functions?
Even polynomial functions have f(x) = f(-x). For example, if f(x) = x^2, then f(-x) = (-x)^2 which is x^2. therefore it is even. Odd polynomial functions occur when f(x)= -f(x). For example, f(x) = x^3 + x f(-x) = (-x)^3 + (-x) f(-x) = -x^3 - x f(-x) = -(x^3 + x) Therefore, f(-x) = -f(x) It is odd

What is the mathematical equation for the difference of a number and 5?
If you mean a number subtracted by 5 then your formula, or linear equation is f(x)=x-5 Meaning if the value x is the input of the function, then the output is x-5. Example: f(17)=17-5=12 So f(17)=12 Make sense?
What is the difference between power functions and exponential functions?
A power function has the equation f(x)=x^a while an exponential function has the equation f(x)=a^x. In a power function, x is brought to the power of the variable. In an exponential function, the variable is brought to the power x.
The difference between a number and 3?

What is the principal difference between a light and X-rays waves?
The main difference between light and x-rays is that x-rays are radiation.
What is the difference between 15 and x?
15 - x
What is the relationship between roots and zeros and factors?
Given a function f, of a variable x, the roots of the equation are values of x for which f(x) = 0.If the function, f, happens to be a polynomial function, and r is a root of f(x) then (x - r) is a factor of f(x).
What is the derivative of e-5x?
Looks like simple difference formula work here. f(x) - g(x) = f'(x) - g'(x) e - 5x = e - 5 =====
What is the difference between 'X' and X?
ones in commer things
What are the rules of differentiation?
While no set of rules can handle differentiating every expression, the following should help. For all of the following, assume c and n are constants, f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, and f'(x) and g'(x) mean the derivative of f and g respectively. Constant derivative rule:d/dx(c)=0 Constant multiple rule:d/dx(c*f(x))=c*f'(x) Sum and Difference Rule:d/dx(f(x)±g(x))=f'(x)±g'(x) Power rule:d/dx(xn)=n*xn-1 Product rule:d/dx(f(x)*g(x))=f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x) Quotient rule:d/dx(f(x)/g(x))=(f'(x)*g(x)-g'(x)*f(x))/f(x)² Chain rule:d/dx(f(g(x))= f'(g(x))*g'(x)
