Study Notes

Functions and Relationships

Dependent and independent variables are crucial in understanding functions; water required for rice is dependent on rice amount, making rice the independent variable.
For functions represented graphically, the domain and range define valid input and output values.

Domain and Range

Domain represents all valid input values; e.g., a function's domain may include all real numbers greater than or equal to -3.
Range includes all possible output values derived from input; e.g., function output values may be expressed as y = -9, -3, 0, 5, 7.

Graph Characteristics

A function must have unique y-values for each x-value; if multiple y-values correspond to a single x-value, it’s not a function.
Points can be removed from graphs to satisfy function conditions; for example, removing three specific points can create a valid function representation.

Practical Applications

Real-world situations, like water billing, apply independent and dependent variables in equations; total gallons produced (g) depend on units used (u) through the equation g = 748u.
In a scenario of draining water from a bathtub, the remaining water (y) is a function of time (x) draining, bound within a specific range (0 to 40 gallons).

Specific Function Examples

In function y = 8 - 2x, evaluating y for input x = 8 results in an output of -8.
Functions can encompass real numbers alongside integers, such as Livia's protein consumption: total protein can start from 11 grams with additional parts of cheese sticks allowed.

Revision of Ordered Pairs

Identifying ordered pairs in a dataset can determine functional characteristics; removing pairs with shared x-values can lead to function compliance.
