Chapter 9 Unit A Functions: Building Blocks of Mathematical Models
2
Essential Question Where do we see function in our lives?
What are the key components of a function?
3
Key Components of Functions
Definition: describes how a relationship changes with respect to one more variables Dependent: output, usually y or f(x) Independent: input, usually x Domain: values that make sense and are of interest to the independent variable (x) Range: values of the dependent variable that corresponds to values of the domain
4
Example: Blowing up a beach ball
Independent variable: ________________ Dependent variable: __________________ Domain: ____________________ Range: _____________________ We can write ___________ as a function of _________, and is denoted as ___________.
5
Example: Coconut Tree Coconut tree will produce 75 coconuts a year, but it takes 6 years to start producing. Is this a function? What are the independent and dependent variable? What is the domain and range? Make a table to represent 7 years
6
Example: Cell Phone A cell phone company charges a phone activation fee of $20 and a monthly fee of $50/month. Is this a function? What are the independent and dependent variable? What is the domain and range? Write an equation to represent this situation
7
Example: Robbery Rate What is independent and dependent variable?
What is the Domain and Range?
8
How do you represent a function?
Data table (coconut tree example) Picture or graph (Honolulu robbery example) Equation or formula (cell phone example)
