See the documentation on Function Basics (link).

Your code has a number of errors.

This corrected version works:

function [z]=f(x,v)                         % Define & Code Function ‘f’
z = x+v(1)+v(2)+v(3)+v(4);
end

z = f(42,[5 12 3 7])                        % Call Function ‘f’

I will let you explore the reasons it does.

Note that if you are simply summing the elements of vector ‘v’, use the sum function. However, since I believe this is not your actual problem, I am summing the elements individually.
