| Question 948563:  How do you put (2,4) and (4,-2) in function notation form?

      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(2) = 4 f(4) = -2
 
 for example:
 
 suppose you have a function that takes the value of x and squares it.
 
 the function would be f(x) = x^2
 
 now if you evaluate that function for the value of x = 2, you will get:
 
 f(2) = 2^2 which becomes f(2) = 4
 
 now if you have a function that takes the the square value of x and then multiplies it by -1, then that function would be:
 
 f(x) = -sqrt(x)
 
 now if you evaluate that function for when x = 4, you would get:
 
 f(4) = -sqrt(4) which becomes f(4) = -2
