Function Rules to Live By
A function is a rule that establishes a relationship between two quantities, called the input and the output.

Output
For each input, there is exactly one output.
There can be more than one input for the same output.

Function Rules to Live ByDomain
The domain is the collection of all input values of the independent variable that determines the value of other variables.

THE WORD PROBLEM
A cell phone company charges $80 for a phone. Its minutes for talk time are charged at a rate of $0.50 per minute up to 300 minutes. The total cost c of the phone and the number of minutes m is given by the function:
c = $80 + $0.50m
If you maximized the talk time minutes, how much could have your parents paid?

Make the ConnectionList
Make a list of inputs (m), use the function to calculate an output (c) and use the rule: 60 ≤ m ≤ 300 to fill in 5 values at most for each input, function, and output columns.
INPUT OUTPUTINPUT c = $80 + $0.50m OUTPUTINPUT c = $80 + $0.50m OUTPUT
m = 60
m = 120
m = 180
m = 240
m = 300
c = $80 + $0.50 (60) c = 110
c = $80 + $0.50 (120)
c = $80 + $0.50 (180)
c = $80 + $0.50 (240)
c = $80 + $0.50 (300)
c = 140
c = 170
c = 200
c = 230

Record the values into an input/output table.

Make the ConnectionDomain and Range
The domain of the function is all values of m such that 60 ≤ m ≤ 300 which are:
m 60 120 180 240 300
c 110 140 170 200 230
The range of the function is all values of c as shown above.

What do the domain and range mean in the
problem?

Practice the Function
The student government in Pratts High School is facing a dilemma on fundraising. It has to unlock the answers to the Tangram Puzzle in order to fulfill all the school improvement projects for the school year that require $5,000 in the student government treasury. Currently, it only has $1,500 in the coffer. It profits $500 per fundraiser. Represent the number of fundraising events with E and the money gained for the treasury with T.
Crespo 2009
Complete the Tangram
1. Scramble for the function by creating an equation 1.1. Show the verbal model.
1.2 Indicate the labels
1.3 Illustrate the algebraic
model.
2. Create an input/output table for
the equation.3. Represent the
table with a labeled line graph. 4. How many
fundraising events will it take to reach
its target?
Crespo 2009
Tangram SolutionsMoney gained for the treasury is equal to the money in the
treasury at the beginning plus the profits from a fundraiser times the number of fundraising events.
number of fundraising events = E money in the treasury at the beginning = $1,500 profits from a fundraiser = $500 money gained for the treasury = T
T = $1,500 + 500E where $1,500 < T ≤ $5,000
E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7T $2000 $2500 $3000 $3500 $4000 $4500 $5000
