Question
Investigate when, historically, the use of the function notation $y=f(x)$ first appeared.
Step 1
In this notation, $y$ is the dependent variable and $x$ is the independent variable. The notation $f(x)$ represents a function that takes $x$ as an input and produces $y$ as an output. Show more…
