1.

f(x)=y

x

is called the input or argument of the function and

f(x)

or

y

is called the output or value at

x

ex. If

f(x)=x^{2}+x+1

what is the value of

f

at

x=3

?

The value of

f

at

x=3{\text{ is }}13

2.

(x,y){\text{ or }}(x,f(x))

is called an ordered pair where

x

is the input and

y{\text{ or }}f(x)

is the output
