  1. 4.3 Writing & Graphing Functions Algebra 16,17, 18

  2. Writing Equations

  3. Practice

  4. When an equation has two variables, its solutions will be all ordered pairs (x,y) that make the equation true. • We can graph those solutions. • When we graph all solutions of an equation, that means we are graphing the equation.

  5. Recall that an equation with two variables is a relation, and it may or may not be a function. • One way to determine if a relation is a function is to graph the equation, and then use the vertical-line test.

  6. Vertical Line Test - Functions y y y y x x x x Function y y y y x x x x

  7. Vertical Line Test - Functions y y y y x x x x Function Function y y y y x x x x

  8. Vertical Line Test - Functions y y y y x x x x Function Function Not a Function y y y y x x x x

  9. Vertical Line Test - Functions y y y y x x x x Function Function Function Not a Function y y y y x x x x

  10. Vertical Line Test - Functions y y y y x x x x Function Function Function Not a Function y y y y x x x x Not a Function Not a Function Not a Function Function

  11. Graphing Functions

  12. Practice

  13. Domain & Range of Functions • Looking at the graph can help you find domain and range.

  14. Function Variables • In a function you have independent and dependent variables. • Independent variable • Usually x • Does not depend on the other • Dependent variable • Usually y • Depends on x

  15. Function Notation • If x is independent and y is dependent, the function notation for y is f(x). • You read f(x) as “f of x”. • The f is the name of the function and x is the independent variable.

  16. Writing Functions • Identify the independent and dependent variables. Write a rule using function notation.

  17. Evaluating Functions

  18. Function Notation

  19. Evaluate the function over the domain, x = -1, x = 0, x = 2.

  20. Review • How do we write an equation from a table of data? • What is another test we can use to see if a relation is a function or not? • How do we graph functions? • What are independent and dependent variables? • How do we evaluate functions?
