Finding inputs: working from ___ to ___

Output to input

Symbol usually used for independent variable

xx

First step to find input when output known

Set f(x)f(x) equal to the output value

Replace f(x)f(x) with ___ to solve

The function's expression

What f(x)f(x) represents in finding inputs

The output

Setup: f(x)=2x+3f(x) = 2x + 3, output = 11

2x+3=112x + 3 = 11

Solve: 2x+3=112x + 3 = 11

x=4x = 4

How to verify found input for function

Substitute into original function
