f(7)=$5

100

|x-5|=10

x=15; x=-5

100

Rewrite the function in inverse form:

f(x)=2x+1

x=(f(x)-1)/2

200

Identify f(2)

f(2)=1

200

Identify the equation of the graph:

f(x)=|x|-3

200

Rewrite the function in terms of x:

f(x)=3x-5

(f(x)+5)/3=x

300

How much does it cost to park for 1 hour? 4.5 hours?

1 hour costs $0

4.5 hours costs $6

300

Identify the equation of the graph:

f(x)=|x+2|+3

300

Rewrite the function in terms of c:

8c+3b=10

c=(10-3b)/8

400

Identify f(1) and f(3)

f(1)=3, f(3)=0

400

The dance team budgeted $200 for their team dinner. Any variation, higher or lower is considered an error in their budget and may effect their budget next year. The function, b, gives the absolute budget error.

What does b(0) represent? 


They spent their exact budget.

400

Rewrite the function in terms of t.

What does the inverse equation represent?

t=d/80

Time as a function of distance

500

How much does it cost to send a letter that weighs 1.5 oz? 3 oz?

P(1.5)=1.72

P(3)=2.29

500

The dance team budgeted $200 for their team dinner. Any variation, higher or lower is considered an error in their budget and may effect their budget next year. The function, b(d) gives the absolute budget as a function of money spent. 

What is the value of b(d) when they spent $194? When they spend $216?

b(194)=6

b(216)=16
