Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is a function?
Every input must have exactly one output
What is relation?
Any set of ordered pairs
What is the domain of a function?
The inputs in a data set
What is the range of a function
The outputs in a data set
What is function notation?
A way of writing the “rule” in shorthand so that we can apply it to different numbers and variables
What is f(x)
“f of x” or “the value of f at x”
Evaluate the function for the given values of the variable
f(x)=2x-3 when x=-2
f(x)=3x+2
f(-2)=3(-2)+2
f(-2)=-4
What are the two solutions of the equation y=2x+1?
Solutions: (0,1) (-1/2,0) 2(0)+1 y=1 0=2x+1 -1 -1 -1/2=2x/2 -1/2=x
Solve 2x-5=1 algebraically
2x-5=1
+5 +5
2x/2=6/2
X=3
How do you find the x and y intercepts of an equation?
Replace the other value with zero.
