The output of function A is given by adding 4 to the input, then multiplying the result by 2. Write a rule for Function A.
A(x) = 2(x + 4)
State the domain and range:
x | y |
3 | 7 |
5 | 9 |
3 | 8 |
D: {3, 5} R: {7, 8, 9}
Is it a function? {(2, 3), (4, 5), ( -2, 6)}
Yes, each input has exactly one output.
An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. Function P gives the perimeter of an equilateral triangle of side length s. Write a rule for Function P that gives the perimeter of the triangle with side length s.
P(s) = 3s
Using the vertical line test, does the graph of the points (1,3) and (1,5) represent a function?
No, the points fail the Vertical Line Test.
What is the test to tell if a graph is a function?
Vertical Line Test
A cell phone plan from Company D costs $80 per month, with unlimited data. Write a function rule for Company D that gives the monthly cost of the cell phone plan.
D(x) = 80
State the domain and range:
D: Any number greater than or equal to -4
R: Any number
Is it a function?
x | y |
2 | 4 |
1 | 5 |
2 | 6 |
No, the input of 2 has two different outputs.
What words are used to describe the variables that represent the input and output?
x - independent, y - dependent
Priya bought a plant for a science experiment. When she brought it home, the plant was 5 cm tall. Since then, the plant has grown 0.5 cm a week. Write a function rule for Function H, which describes the height of the plant after w weeks.
H(w) = 5 + 0.5w
State the domain and range:
D: Any number except x = -2
R: Any number
Is it a function? Justify your answer.
Yes, it passes the Vertical Line Test.
What is the definition of a function?
A relationship between input and output values. Each input has exactly one output value.
Evaluate f(x)=42 if f(x)=3x+15
x = 9
Bo was offered a job after college earning a salary of $75,000. He will get a raise of $2,000 after each year working for the company. Write a rule for Function S, that gives the salary Bo earns after y years.
S(y) = 75000 + 2000y
State the domain and range of the absolute value function: f(x) = | x |
D: Any number
R: Any non-negative number
Is it a function? f(x) = 3x + 5
Yes, it will pass the vertical line test.
