Is the following a function?

No it is not a function.   It doed not pass the vertical line test.

Jamie is selling candles and has graphed her supply below.  How many candles did Jamie start off with initially?


Jamie started off with 100 candles.  At time 0, she had 100.

100

Which function has a greater initial value?

Function A

Function B

y= = 3x - 3

Function A.  Function A's initial value would be 20. Function B's initial value would be -3.  20>-3

100

What variable does rate of change represent in this equation:

y=mx+b

What is m?

100

the x values of a function

What are the inputs?

200

Is the following a function?

{(3, 5)  (5, 8)  (2, 7)   (3, 4)}

No, it is not a function.  x-value of 3 is repeated.  It would not pass the vertical line test.

Jamie is selling candles and has graphed her supply below.  What rate shows Jamie's candle supply with respect to time?


Rate = -20.  Down 20 over 1.

Allen is driving home at 45 mph.  He is currently 160 miles from home.  James is also driving home and his distance from home and time can be seen in the table below.  Who is traveling at a faster rate?

James Driving Home

James.  James is going 50mph, Allen is going 45mph.

Find the rate of change of this graph:

What is -1?

200

the y values of a function

What are the outputs?

300

Is the equation y = x a function?

Yes,  It would pass the vertical line test.

Andrew buys and sells Ninja Turtle toys.  He currently has 33 and each week he sells 7 Ninja Turtles and buys 4 more. What is Andrew's rate of change for his Ninja Turtle supply?  

His rate is -3 per week.  Each week his supply would decrease by 3 (sell 7-->buy 4-->3 more sold then bought).

300

How many times bigger is the rate of Function A than the rate of Function B?

Function A

y=9/5x +12

Function B

1.2 times bigger. Function A has a rate of 9/5=1.8.  Function B has a rate of 3/2=1.5.

1.8/1.5=1.2

300

What is another way to say initial value?

What is beginning value or starting point?

300

relation in which every input has exactly one output

What is a function

400

Mark has the table below. If the inputs and outputs were switched (meaning the x values are now y and vice versa) would the relation be a function?

No it would not be a function. The new x-value of 13 has 2 different y-values 8 and 9.

James has 25 bananas and is picking 4 more bananas every 5 minutes.  How many bananas is James picking per minute?

James is picking at a rate of 4/5 bananas every minute.

Allen is driving home at 45 mph.  He is currently 160 miles from home.  James is also driving home and his distance from home and time can be seen in the table below.  Who is going to get home first?

James Driving Home

Allen.  Allen's equation would be y=-45x + 160,  James' equation would be y=-50x + 200.  Each person gets home with y=0.  This would take Allen 3.5 hours and James 5 hours.

400

What variable does the initial value represent in this equation:

y=mx+b

What is b?

400

A measurement of the change in variables over a specific period of time; a measure of output value changes in comparison to input value changes.

rate of change

If the graph were rotated 90° counter-clockwise would the relation be a function?

Yes it would be a function.

On Monday, a dog groomer graphed the number of dogs they groomed as shown in the graph below.  On Friday the number of pets groomed per hour was 3 times bigger than on Monday.   What is the rate of dogs groomed on Friday?

40/hr.  Originally they groomed 20 dogs every 1.5 hours...thats 13.33333 dogs per hour.  Multiplied by 3 gives 40 dogs per hour.

Anthony is parking cars and the number of cars he's parked can be represented by the equation y=12x + 35 where x is the number of hours he is working and y is the total cars parked.  Tyler is also parking cars and the number of cars he parked can be seen in the graph below.  How many more cars would Anthony park in 4 hours than Tyler?

Anthony would have parked 3 more cars than Tyler. Using Anthony's equation y=12(4) + 35 = 83 cars parked.  Tylers equation y=15(4) + 20 = 80.

The graph of a linear relationship passes through (0, 2), (1, 5), and (3, 11) but not through (2, 7). What is the initial value?

What is 2?
