a) Model this using a linear function.

b) When will there be 700 L in the tank?

12

3. Water was flowing into a tank. After 5 minutes there was 156.8 L in the tank and after 20 minutes there was 241.8 L in the tank.

a) Model this using a linear function.

b) How much water was there in the tank to start with?

c) How much water enters the tank each minute?

Function Notation

1. For f(x) = 3x - 5 evaluate the following

y = 2x + 7 becomes f(x) = 2x + 7 It is to be understood that the "y" is the same as the "f(x)" - y = f(x) , y equals f at x

f(4) =

f(-3) =

f(3/4) =

f(5.21) =

=

13

2. For the function evaluate

g(4) =

g(-3) =

g(-2) =

g(3/4) =

g(2.14) =

=

3. For the function f(x) = 2x - 5, determine and simplify the following expressions:

f(m) =

f(2n)=

f(3x)=

f(x+2)=

f(2x+3)=

14

4. Suppose h(x) = 5 - 2x, determine and simplify the following expressions:

h(x+1) =

h(2x-3) =

h(2-x) =

h(3x+4)=

5. From the graph determine the following values:

f(12) = f(1) = f(2) =

f(4) = f(6)=

15

The Absolute Value Function

The absolute value of a number is the distance that number is away from the origin. Therefore, the absolute value of a number is always positive.

Evaluate the following:

Relations

review: function - is a rule that gives a single output number for every input number

definition: relation - is a rule that produces one or more output numbers for every input number

1. the rule: the sum of two numbers is 20

17

2. the rule : the square of a number plus a second number is 20

3. the rule : a number plus the square of a second number is 30

18

4. the rule : the square of a number plus the square of the second number is 25

5. Determine if each relation is also a function. State the domain and range.

Find an example of a number that is NOT a valid INPUT for each function.

Evaluate the following when f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = 3x - 2 .

(f + g)(2) =

(f X g)(-3) =

f(g(4)) =

g(f(-2)) =

3f(2) - 4g(5) =

2f(x) + 3g(x) =
