Which test is used to verify if an equation is a function?

Which test is used to verify if it is linear?

Various answers possible:

Function - vertical line test / 1 output for every input

Linear - constant rate of change / graph is a straight line / simplified down to y=mx+b

100

What are 3 different ways to say slope

Rise over run, Slope formula, rate of change, M

100

Describe the Transformation: (type, direction, value)

y=f(x)+8

It is a vertical translation up 8 units.

Name two of the fundamental properties of Absolute Values (there are 4 total)

|x| = |-x|    ...    |x| >= 0 

|x*y| = |x| * |y|  ...   |x/y| = |x| / |y| 

200

Is this a function? Is it linear?

y = -x + 3

Yes & Yes ... it is a linear function 

200

Find the slope: 

(3,6) ; (4,2) ; (5,-2)

Slope = (6-2) / (3-4) = (4)/(-1) = -4

200

Find 3 unique solutions using intercepts for: 1800=25x+15y 

(0,120) ; (72,0) ; (60,20) ; (36,60) ; (12,100)

200

List the steps for solving an Absolute Value Equation (4 basic steps)

1. Isolate Absolute Value

2. Make sure it does not = -#

3. Set up 2 equations ... = +#  &  = -#

4. Plug solutions back in

300

Give an example of a continuous domain and a discrete domain ... 

Answers will vary ... as long as they match up correctly. 
300

Find the slope:

y = 8 + 15x

Slope = 15

300

Describe the Transformation: (type, direction, value)

y=f(x+4)

It is an horizontal translation LEFT 4 units

300

Describe in words AND graph -8 < x < 18

X is less than 18 AND greater than negative 8. 

Open circles on -8 & 18, shaded between

400

Is the graph of a Circle a function, why or why not?

No. It does not pass the Vertical Line Test ... crosses the line twice. 

400
Find the slope:


14x - 7y = 28

Once you solve for y ... y=2x-4 ... so slope = 2
400

Provide a table with 3 points & describe in words a realistic scenario for f(x)=30-3x

ex) You start with $30 and are renting games that cost $3 each. 

ex) You are 30 miles from home and travel 3mph. 

(0,30) ; (1,27) ; (2,24) .... 

400

Describe in words AND graph: y > 9 or y <0 

Y is greater than 9 OR less than 0.

Open circles on 9 and 0; shaded to the outside 

500

Is 8x - 4y = 16 a function? If so, is it linear?

Yes and Yes ... it can be simplified down to y=mx+b

500

Find the slope of the line y=-5

**Take your time and think through it**

Since it is a horizontal line, the y's never change, thus the slope = 0

500

Describe the Transformation: (type, direction, value)

y=f(-x)

It is a refection across the y axis

500

Solve:

-2 |x+4| + 8 > 20

NO SOLUTION ... 

after step 1, you have |x+4|<-6
