I guess the reason we use function notation f(x) because it gives us more information about the function. For example, if you have a function : y = 5x + 10, and you have find y values with a long list of x, it's hard to keep track which x you are calculating. In that case, function notation help you a lot. If you have x = 1, you simply write f(1) = 5 x 1 + 10, or x = 10, it will be f(10) = 5 x 10 + 10; so when you look back at the calculation, you will find it easier see all the values.

What is function notation in math terms?
An equation where the left is the function of the right. f(x)=x+3 is function notation. The answer is a function of what x is. f(g(x))= the answer the inside function substituted in the outside function.
How do you rewrite as a function of x using function notation for 2x plus 3y equals 4?
If 2x + 3y = 4, y= (4 - 2x)/3. In function notation, f(x) = (4 - 2x)/3.
Which notation shows that S is a function of N?
S(n)
Name 6 mathematical contributions of Leonhard Euler?
Euler introduced mathematical notation. He made contributions of complex analysis. He introduced the concept of a function, the use of exponential function, and logarithms in analytic proofs. Euler also produced the formula for the Riemann zeta function.
Is it true or false that you can replace any letter in function notation with any number?
False. You can only replace it with a number from the domain of the function.
