6 - 7 Represent Functions as Rules, Tables, and Graphs

1.6.1: Organize and interpret tables. 1.6.2: Make input-output tables and use them to graph functions; write equations to represent functions. 1.7.1: Organize and interpret graphs.

A relation is: Ex.

Domain:

Range:

Example 1. A gallon of gas currently costs _________________. Fill in the table to show the total cost for each number of gallons. Then identify the domain and range. # of gallons Total cost 10 12 13 17 20

A function is a relation in which

You can represent functions using a mapping diagram, table, or graph. Mapping Diagram Table Graph

Example 2. Tell whether the relation is a function. a. Input 0 1 4 6 Output 0 2 8 12 b. c.

Example 3. The domain of the function y = 2x is 0, 2, 5, 7, and 8. Make a table for the function, then identify the range of the function.

Example 4. Write a rule for each function. a. Input Output 0 2 1 3 4 6 6 8 10 12 b. Input Output 1 0 2 1 4 3 7 6 9 8

Example 5. You are buying concert tickets that cost $15 each. You can buy up to 6 tickets. Write the amount you spend as a function of the number of tickets you buy. Identify the independent and dependent variables. Then identify the domain and the range of the function.
