Function rules and Other Tight Math StuffMr Streety’s 7th Grade Class • Writing function rules from tables • Writing tables from Function rules • Graphing Tables and Function rules • Writing Function Rules from Graphs
Function Rules from Tables • There are two ways to write a function rule for a table • The first is through number sense. • This is the Harder of the two
Function rules from tables • When X=0, what does Y=?. • This gives you the first part of your function • y=x+2 • After you find what Y= when X=0, you need to subtract this number from the following values for Y
Apples and Bananas Function Rule • As you know we start with the equation: • y=Ax+B Where A and B are constant numbers, and of course x and y are variables meaning their value changes with the table.
Apples and Bananas • The first step here is to solve for B, using the first set of numbers from the table • y=Ax+B • 2=A(0)+B • B=2 • This gives us the new equation y=Ax+2
Apples and Bananas Function Rule • The second step is to use our new equation to find a value for A • Y=Ax+2 • 5=A(1)+2 • 5-2=A(1)+2-2 • 3=A(1) • A=3
Apples and Bananas Function Rule • Now we have our new equation • y=3x+2 • We can plug our x values in to check the equation • y=3(2)+2 • Y=6+2 • Y=8
Mrs. Robinson's Lawn • We have been hired to mow Mrs. Robinson's lawn. She is going to give us a two dollar bonus for starting early. In addition to this she will pay us 3 dollars an hour. • What is the function rule for this problem?
Writing Tables from Function Rules • Since 2 dollars is a bonus, we get that as soon as we start. We get 3 dollars an hour after that. • Y=3x+2 • First we can choose any values for x we want unless they are given to us.
Tables From Function Rules • The next step is to plug these values in for the variable x in our equation. • Y=3x+2 • Y=3(0)+2 • Y=2
Tables From Function Rules • Now let’s try the next set of numbers. • y=3(1)+2 • y=5
Tables from Function Rules • As you plug in the rest of the values for x, you will get the corresponding values for y.
Graphing Tables and Function Rules • First of all if you only have a function rule you need to make a table which we just covered. • From the table to the left we make a graph
Mrs. Robinson's Lawn • We will need to plot the set of numbers as they as they appear in the table. • For the first set of numbers we will go 0 to the right and up 2 • For the next set of numbers we will go 1 to the right and 5 up
Mrs. Robinson's Lawn • Of course this is just the first two sets of numbers. • Let’s see what happens if we plot the rest of the numbers
Mrs. Robinson's Lawn • After plotting all the points we can draw a line from point to point that will help us find values between the points.
Mrs. Robinson's Lawn • Using the line we can tell how much money we can make mowing her lawn for 2 and a half hours or or four and a half
