Functions as Equations

  • The equation x² + y² = 36, does not represent y as a function of x.

Evaluating Functions

  • Given g(t) = 4t² - 3t + 7:
    • g(2) = 17
    • g(-1) = 14
    • g(t + 2) = 4t² + 13t + 17
  • Given V(r) = 4⁄3πr³:
    • V(3) = 36π
    • V(3⁄2) = 9⁄2π
    • V(2r) = 32⁄3πr³
  • Given f(x) = √(x + 8) + 2:
    • f(-8) = 2

    • f(1) = 2

Function Tables

  • For f(x) = -x² + 8:

    • When x = 1, f(x) = 7
    • When x = 2, f(x) = 4
  • For h(t) = t + 2⁄t:
    • When t = -5, h(t) = -1.5

Applied Functions

  • The percent p of prescriptions filled with generic drugs at a large pharmacy chain from 2012 through 2018 is modeled by:
    • p(t) = 1.76t + 58.1, 12 ≤ t < 16
    • p(t) = 0.91t + 71.2, 16 ≤ t ≤ 18, where t represents the year, with t = 12 corresponding to 2012.
  • Percent of prescriptions filled with generic drugs in each year:
    • 2012: 79.22%
    • 2013: 80.98%
    • 2014: 82.74%
    • 2015: 84.5%
