1-8: Graphs and Functions What is a function?
Function: a relationship between an input and an output. • WHAT does that mean?? • Ok, so lets say Jim has a job.
Jim makes 10 dollars an hour. • In September Jim worked 100 hours. • In October Jim worked 30 hours. • How much did Jim make in September?
How much did Jim make in October? • He worked 30 hours and makes $10 an hour. • Jim made $300 in October.
THIS is a function. When one variable depends on another we call the relationship between those variables a function.
When we graph functions to see relationships easier. We use a Coordinate System. • A coordinate system used an X and a Y axis.
Y axis X axis Origin
Coordinates • (x,y) • (4,3) • X:4 • Y:3
Ordered Pairs I can write a SET of ordered pairs: (0,500) (.2,480) (.4,422)
(0,10) (1,6) (4,3) • Graph it on your own. • Check each others Graphs
There are two other ways to refer to coordinates • Independent and Dependent Variables • Domains and Range
Independent Variables • The variable in the chart that represents the X.
Dependent Variables • The variable that represents the Y in the chart.
Domain • The first numbers in the ordered pairs (the x) • (1,5) (6,2) (8,4) • Domain: (1,6,8)
Range • The second number in the ordered pairs, the Y. • (1,5) (6,2) (8,4) • Range: (5,2,4)
Name the Domain and Range • (3,2) (7,8) (5,.6) (3,2) • D: • R:
D: (3,7,5,3) • R: (2,8,.6,2)
