We can add, subtract, multiply and divide functions! The result is a new
function. Let us try doing those operations on f(x) and g(x):

 Let x be how many months have past since
Laurel started collecting hats. Let y by how
man hats Laurel owns. Can you write a linear
function in terms of x,y?

Imagine the scenario!
 If you are ever unsure about how to proceed with a
math problem, one thing I find very helpful is to
imagine the scenario and sub in the numbers.
 At the very beginning, when x=0, Laurel hasn't bought
any new hats yet, she owns 3 hats, so y=3.
 After the first month, when x=1, laurel owns 3 hats,
plus the 1 hat she just bought. She now
owns y=3+1 hats.
 After the second month, when x=2, laurel owns 3 hats,
plus the 2 new hats she bought after she started
collecting hats. She now owns y=3+2 hats.

Example 1
 Laurel is a huge fan of hats, she likes all kinds
of hats and recently started collecting them.
She already owns 3 hats. She plans on buying
a hat according to the season every month.
Let's break down the problem!
 Read the problem again and get a better
understanding of what is given and what is
asked.
 We know - How many hats Laurel owns
already - How many hats Laurel collects every
month
 We are asked - After x months, how many
hats does Laurel own?
Write the function!
 Now, we can write the function. y=3+x or
f(x)=3+x
You can always check!
 If you are unsure if you function is correct,
you can always put in real numbers to check.
For example, when x=3, y=6. That makes
sense, because Laurel would have bought 3
hats after 3 months and she now has 6!

Example 2  If Daniela rents 6 bicycles, what is her net

 For Daniela’s bicycle business, the net profit profit?
(in pesos) for renting bicycle b is :p(b)=25b + P(b)=25b+7
7 b=6
P(6)=25(6)+7
P(6)=150+7
P(6)=157

13 14

 Daniela's net profit is $107. How many

bicycles did she rent out?
P(b)=25b+7
P(b)=107
107=25b+7
100=25b
4=b
