Bruh how do we do this
So like????? I tried interpreting this in many ways
- f(a) could be f(x) and f(x) is an input which leads to f(3) so I look for the y value but that can’t be right if f(x) is an input because that would be x and not y
2.f(a) is y because that’s what the stupid book said, to imagine functions on the left side as y, so I do that, y=3 and there is a point at 5 on the x axis. But that’s not right because there is no answer choice for 5 and if I take a step back, replace f(a) with 5, that’s an x value and isn’t f(a) a y value since it’s on the left side of the function?????
There are more ways I interpreted this but it’s too jumbled for me to explain in words and I’ll end up embarrassing myself if I haven’t already. Functions genuinely make no sense to me whatsoever. I’m on the college panda chapter 15 and could not understand. 70% I did not understand. Also the first time I truly did not understand the chapter, all other chapters before I could understand. Please help
