100

WHAT FUNCTION FAMILY IS SIMPLE AND MADE OF ONE STRAIGHT LINE.  THEY ONLY INCREASE/DECREASE/ OR ARE CONSTANT

LINEAR

100

y=mx+b

LINEAR

100

The set of all x-values or inputs of a function.

DOMAIN

100

Is it a function? {(2, 3), (4, 5), ( -2, 6)}

YES because every input (x) has exactly one output (y).

100

Identify the domain and range of the following: 

D: -2 < x < 4

R: -3 <= y <= 3

200

THIS FUNCTION FAMILY HAS A SMOOTH CURVE. THEY CHANGE DIRECTION AND HAVE A MIN OR A MAX.

QUADRATIC

200

f(x)=|8x-2|-3

ABSOLUTE VALUE

200

The set of all y-values or outputs in a function

RANGE

200

Is it a function?

X    Y

2    4

1    6

2    6

NO; the x-value of 2 has two y-values (4 and 6).

200

What is the domain and range of the graph?

Domain: 0 <= x < infinity 

Range: -2 <= y < infinity

300

THIS FUNCTION FAMILY CHANGES DIRECTION. THEY ARE MADE OF TWO STRAIGHT LINES. THEY HAVE A MIN OR A MAX

ABSOLUTE VALUE

300

Y=3X2

QUADRATIC

300

WHAT IS THE WORD THAT BEST DESCRIBES DATA THAT HAS GAPS WHEN VIEWED ON A COORDINATE PLANE?

DISCRETE

300

Which one(s) are not functions?

B & D

300

What is the domain of the following arrow diagram?  

{-2,0,1,3}

400

THIS FUNCTION FAMILY HAS A SMOOTH CURVE.  THEY ARE ONLY IN QUADRANTS 1 AND 2. THEY EITHER INCREASE OR DECREASE ONLY AND DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTION.

EXPONENTIAL

400

Y=8x

EXPONENTIAL

400

The test to tell if a graphed relation is a function

VERTICAL LINE TEST

400

Is it a function?

NO; it does not pass the Vertical Line Test, for example, x = -2 has two y-values.

400

What the domain and range of the following?

D: -2 <= x <= 6      R: -6 <= y <= 2

500

THIS FUNCTION FAMILY HAS DIFFERENT CONNECTED PARTS. THIS TYPE OF FUNCTION FAMILY CHANGES DIRECTION MULTIPLE TIMES.

LINEAR PIECEWISE

500

Y=5X

Y=18X+10

Y=14X-2

LINEAR

500

Draw a coordinate plane and label each quadrant correctly.  


500

Give an example of a function using any of the 6 different relationship representations we identified in our class activity.  Points are awarded for EACH unique representation.  (different not all the same)

*answers will vary*

500

Identify the domain and range of the following graph.

Range: y=-2

Domain: -infinity < x < infinity
