DOMAIN (RECALL) domain of a function is the values of the independent variables.
FUNCTION F(X) = Y A function is a relationship between two variables such that each value of the first variable is paired with exactly one value of the second variable.
Evaluate: a)f(3) b)f(-2) c)f( )
PIECEWISE FUNCTION A piecewise function is defined by different formulas on different parts of the domain.
Ex 2. A cell phone plan costs $39 a month. The plan includes 400 free minutes and charges 20¢ for each additional minute. The monthly charges are a function of the number of minutes used, given by Find C(100), C(400), and C(480)
a) f(-5) b) f(3) c) f(0) d) f(1)
Ex 4. Evaluate f(x) = 3x – 1 at the following values. a) f(a) b) f(a + h) c)
