  4. Last time, we found a formulafor the area of a garden surrounded by 20 yards of chicken wire on three sides. We said the formula is an example of a function and we used the functional notation A(W)instead of just A. A(W)= 20W – 2W2 Today, we will refine the concept of a FUNCTION.

  5. 7 Use a calculator to compute the values of A(4), A( ), A(10), and A(-7). Round answers to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places). 8 Warm-up Consider the function A(W)= 20W – 2W2

  13. 7 8 A function can be thought of as a pairing of the numbers in one set with the numbers in a second set. Sometimes the rule for the pairs is given as an equation or is easy to spot – sometimes it isn’t. Definition of a function: A function is a correspondence between two sets that assigns to each element of the first set exactly one element of the second set. domain range. The first set of numbers is called the domain. The second set of numbers is called therange.

  14. In this example, the domain is {4, , 10, -7} and the range is {48, 15.97, 0, -238} 7 8 7 7 8 8 Note: the table for the function says the same thing as A(4) = 48, A( ) = 15.97, A(10) = 0, A(-7) = -238. We usually refer to the function by the letter name for the range. In this case, we would call it function A. Definition of a function: A function is a correspondence between two sets that assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range.

  15. Example:  As a table Example: 4 48 10 0 15.97 -7 -238  As an arrow diagram Example: {(4, 48), ( , 15.97), (10, 0), (-7, -238)}  As a set of number pairs 6 7 7 8 8 Summary: Afunction can be represented in several ways, including:  As a formula Example: A(W) = 20W – 2W2 In a function, the first components (domain) never repeat. The second components (range) may repeat. For example, 48

  16. Using functions given as tables of values

  17. The population of the United States has increased steadily over the years. Thus, the population (N) of the U.S. is a function of the year (d). We can use N(d) in place of N.

  18. N = N(d) We can still use function notation in this situation. For example: What is meant by N(1980)? “the population of the United States in 1980” N(1980) = 226.5 million How can we use the table to approximate the population of the United States in 1985? Since 1985 is midway between 1980 and 1990, both of which are in the table, one method is to average the populations for 1980 and 1990.

  19. Average population = = 237.6 million N = N(d) N(1980) = 226.5 million 248.7 million N(1990) = Therefore, N(1985)  237.6 million A reasonable estimate for the population of the U.S. in 1985 is 237.6 million. Source: http://www.npg.org/facts/us_historical_pops.htm

  20. N = N(d) How would you estimate the population of the United States in 1945? Averaging assumes that values of the function (in this case, population) increase at a constant (uniform) rate.

  21. The U.S. population grew by more than 12 million from 1945-1950. The U.S. population grew by less than 8 million from 1940-1945. The rate of growth was faster in the second half of the decade. Source: http://www.npg.org/facts/us_historical_pops.htm If we had averaged, million people

  22. N = N(d) How would you estimate the population of the United States in 1945? Averaging assumes that values of the function (in this case, population) increase at a constant (uniform) rate. Averaging would not be an appropriate method for estimating the United States population in 1945 because historical evidence suggests the population did not rise at a uniform rate between 1940 and 1950. The population increased far more rapidly from 1945 to 1950 because of the post World War II Baby Boom.

  23. In our example: N = N(d) What if we wanted an estimate of the population in 1983? To do this, we will find the average yearly change in population between 1980 and 1990 (called the averagerate of change). To find the average rate of change in population over an interval, divide the change (difference) in population by the number of years in the interval (change in years). Therefore, our estimate for the population in 1983 is 226.5 + 3(2.22) = 233.16 million So the average rate of changefor the ten year period from 1980 to 1990 is 2.22 million people per year. This means that, on average, the population increased by 2.22 million per year from 1980 to 1990.

  24. Therefore, our estimate for the population in 1983 is 226.5 + 3(2.22) = 233.16 million http://www.multpl.com/united-states-population/table

  25. Average rate of change from 1945-1950: 2.48 million people per year The U.S. population grew by more than 12 million from 1945-1950. The U.S. population grew by less than 8 million from 1940-1945. Average rate of change from 1940-1945: Source: http://www.npg.org/facts/us_historical_pops.htm 1.56 million people per year

  26. N = N(d) To find the average rate of change in population over an interval, divide the change (difference) in population by the number of years in the interval (change in years). So the average rate of changefor the ten year period from 1980 to 1990 is 2.22 million people per year. This means that, on average, the population increased by 2.22 million per year from 1980 to 1990. Therefore, our estimate for the population in 1983 is 226.5 + 3(2.22) = 233.16 million

  27. Practice Bald Eagles were once very common throughout most of the United States. Their population numbers have been estimated at 300,000 to 500,000 birds in the early 1700s. Their population fell to threatened levels in the continental U.S. of less than 10,000 nesting pairs by the 1950s. Bald eagles were officially declared an endangered species in 1967 in all areas of the United States Shown is a table indicating the estimated number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the lower 48 states in various years. Answer each of the following questions about the function P = P(y), where y is the year and P is the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles. y = Year P = Number of Breeding cccPairs of Bald Eagles

  28. P(1956) represents the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the U.S. in 1956. P(1956) = 3,210 y = Year P = Number of Breeding cccPairs of Bald Eagles • Explain the meaning of P(1956) and give its value. • Estimate the value of P(1989). • Find the average yearly rate of change from 1992 to 2000. • Use your answer to question 3 to estimate the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in 1994. P(1989) is approximately 2,637. The average yearly rate of change from 1992 to 2000 was 384 breeding pairs per year. There were approximately 4,167 breeding pairs of bald eagles in the U.S. in 1994. [3,399 + 2(384)]
