Remember...

Independent = cause
Dependent = effect
The independent value causes the
dependent value to change
If a relation is a function, then each
input value can only create ONE
output value.
Warm Up (IA)
remember... An IA means its an individual assignment... Do this by yourself
Identify the independent and dependent
variables for each relation
1. The average price of going to the movies has steadily
increased over time
indep = depend =
2. The air pressure inside a tire increases with temperature
indep = depend =
3. As the amount of rain decreases, so does the water level
of the river
indep = depend =
4. The number of calories you burn increases as the number
of minutes that you walk increases
indep = depend =
For the following problems,
determine if each relation is a
function.

Then, write a sentence to justify
your answer.
