EXAMPLE 1 Represent relations

Consider the relation given by the ordered pair (– 2, –3), (– 1, 1), (1, 3), (2, – 2), and (3, 1).

a. Identify the domain and range.

The domain consists of all the x-coordinates: –2, –1, 1, 2, and 3. The range consists of all the y-coordinates: –3, –2, 1, and 3.

EXAMPLE 2

Tell whether the relation is a function. Explain.

Identify functions

a.

SOLUTION

The relation is a function because each input is mapped onto exactly one output.

EXAMPLE 2

Tell whether the relation is a function. Explain.

Identify functions

b.

The relation is not a function because the input 1 is mapped onto both – 1 and 2.

SOLUTION

EXAMPLE 3 Use the vertical line test

Basketball

The first graph below plots average points per game versus age at the end of the 2003–2004 NBA regular season for the 8 members of the Minnesota Timber wolves with the highest averages. The second graph plots average points per game versus age for one team member, Kevin Garnett, over his first 9 seasons. Are the relations shown by the graphs functions? Explain.

SOLUTION


The team graph does not represent a function because vertical lines at x = 28 and x = 29 each intersect the graph at more than one point. The graph for Kevin Garnett does represent a function because no vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point.

EXAMPLE 5 Classify and evaluate functions

Tell whether the function is linear. Then evaluate the function when x = – 4.

a. f (x) = – x2 – 2x + 7

The function f is not linear because it has an x2-term.

f (x) = – x2 – 2x + 7 Write function.

f (– 4) = –(– 4)2 – 2(– 4) + 7 Substitute –4 for x.

= –1 Simplify.

SOLUTION

EXAMPLE 5 Classify and evaluate functions

b. g(x) = 5x + 8

The function g is linear because it has the form g(x) = mx + b.

g(x) = 5x + 8 Write function.

g(–4) = 5(–4) + 8 Substitute –4 for x.

= – 12 Simplify.

Diving

EXAMPLE 6 Use a function in real life

A diver using a Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) descends to a depth of 130 feet.The pressure P (in atmospheres) on the diver is given by P(d) 5 1 + 0.03d where d is the depth (in feet). Graph the function, and determine a reasonable domain and range. What is the pressure on the diver at a depth of 33 feet?

SOLUTION


<<

<

The graph of P(d) is shown. Because the depth varies from 0 feet to 130 feet, a reasonable domain is 0 d 130. The minimum value of P(d) is P(0) = 1, and the maximum value of P(d) is P(130) = 4.9. So, a reasonable range is 1 P(d) 4.9.<

ANSWER

At a depth of 33 feet, the pressure on the diver is P(33) = 1 + 0.03(33) 2 atmospheres, which you can verify from the graph.

Without graphing, tell whether the line through the given points rises, falls, is horizontal, or is vertical.

b. (– 6, 0), (2, –4)

d. (4, 6), (4, –1)c. (–1, 3), (5, 8)

SOLUTION

1 – 13– (–5) =m =a. Because m = 0, the line is

horizontal.

– 4 – 02– (–6) =m =b. Because m < 0, the line

falls.

6 =23

ANSWER

Because m1m2 = –2

33

2= – 1, m1 and m2

are negative reciprocals of each other. So, the lines are perpendicular.

ANSWER

Because m1 = m2 (and the lines are different), you can conclude that the lines are parallel.

EXAMPLE 5

STEP 2Predict the diameter of the sequoia in 2065.

Find the number of years from 2005 to 2065. Multiply this number by the average rate of change to find the total increase in diameter during the period 2005–2065.

Number of years = 2065 – 2005 = 60Increase in diameter =(60 years) (0.1 inch/year) = 6 inches

ANSWER

In 2065, the diameter of the sequoia will be about 141 + 6 = 147 inches.
