4 ways to represent a function:

While working on these below on your own paper, have last night's assignment out on your desk!
Completely factor each of the following:
1.4 Functions
Def: A relation is a set of pairs of #s that are related to
one another by some rule.
Def : A Function is a relation in which each value from the
1st set is matched to exactly one value from the 2nd set

4 ways to represent a function:
1.
Verbally -- describe the relationship
2.
Numerically -- list of ordered pairs or an x/y
table
3.
Graphically --input on x-axis, output on yaxis
4. Algebraically --equation

If an equation represents a function, you may use
function notation to represent it. ( i.e: f(x) = x 2 )
Find each of the following:
EX: If f(x) = - x2 + 4x + 1, find each:
a. f(2)
b. f(t)
c. f(x + 2)
ex 1) f(-3)
ex 2) f(0)
ex 3) f(2)

DEF: The domain of a function is the set of
all input values that DO NOT cause:
Name the domain of each function
using interval notation where
appropriate.
A. {( -3, 0), (-1, 4), (0, 2), (2, 2), (4, -1)}
•division by zero
•even root of a negative
B. F(x) = -3x 2 + 4x + 5
C. G(x) = 1/(x + 5)
DEF: The range of a function is the set of
all output values that resulted from the
input values

D. V = 4/3 πr 3
E. K(x) =
4 −3 x
EX: For g(x) = x 2 - 4x + 7, find the difference quotient
of g(x).
