    Study Notes

    Function Identification

    • A relationship represents a function if each input (independent variable) has exactly one output (dependent variable).
    • Example scenarios include identifying functions based on ordered pairs, considering domain and range.

    Independent and Dependent Variables

    • Independent variable: Determines the value of the dependent variable.
    • Examples:
      • Candy collected while Trick-or-Treating depends on the number of doors knocked (independent: doors knocked).
      • Candy eaten relates to the number of cavities the following year (independent: candy eaten).
      • Ability to draw quality art is affected by the hours spent drawing (independent: hours spent).
      • Month of the year influences average high temperature (independent: month).

    Interpretations of Inputs in Functions

    • Inputs can represent various metrics and their corresponding outputs:
      • Time since midnight relates to the number of cars in a parking lot.
      • Height in centimeters correlates to a weight output in pounds.
      • Number of lame jokes shared connects to irritability levels of students.

    Graphing and Table Methods

    • Techniques for determining values from a graph include using a tracing method or function notation.
    • Values inferred from graphs may require approximation if lying between integers.

    Graph Analysis for Function Representation

    • Graphs should be assessed for vertical line test: a vertical line should not intersect the graph more than once for it to be considered a function.
    • Analyze given graphs to ascertain function status based on this criterion.

    Output Calculation

    • Understanding specific inputs to find outputs often involves substitutions into mathematical expressions or functions.
