\( f \)

Short Description

This is the symbol for a function. It is commonly used in algebra, and (multivariate) calculus.

Medium Description

This is the symbol for a function. It is commonly used in algebra, and (multivariate) calculus. A function takes an input, often represented as \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}\). This is syntactically written as \(f(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x})\), and maps it to an output.

Long Description

The symbol \(f\) is a secondary generic symbol for a function. It is commonly used in algebra, and (multivariate) calculus. A function takes an input, often represented as \(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}\). This is syntactically written as \(f(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x})\), and maps it to an output. An example might be a function that squares it's input. The function would then be written as:

\[ f(\htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}) = \htmlClass{sdt-0000000003}{x}^2 \]
