Function notation is the way a function is written. It is meant to be a precise way of giving information about the function without a rather lengthy written explanation. The most popular function notation is f (x) which is read "f of x".

 

In my algebra class, when we learned it, my teacher just told us to think of it as another way to write y, because we used f of x in tables instead of y. Hopefully this helps!
