What are the symbols of functions?
A function, its domain, and its codomain, are declared by the notation f: X→Y, and the value of a function f at an element x of X, denoted by f(x), is called the image of x under f, or the value of f applied to the argument x.
What does ∈ mean in functions?
The symbol ∈ indicates set membership and means “is an element of” so that the statement x∈A means that x is an element of the set A. In other words, x is one of the objects in the collection of (possibly many) objects in the set A.
What is the symbol for the function of an equation?
The notation y=f(x) defines a function named f. This is read as “y is a function of x.” The letter x represents the input value, or independent variable. The letter y, or f(x), represents the output value, or dependent variable.
