Algebra 1 4-5 Complete Lesson: Writing a Function Rule

Algebra 1 4-5 Complete Lesson: Writing a Function Rule

Problem 1 Got It?

Problem 2 Got It?

Problem 2 Got It?

Problem 3 Got It? Write a function rule for the area A of a triangle whose height h is 4 in. more than twice the length of its base b. Hint: You should only use two variable, A and b.

Problem 3 Got It? What is the area of the triangle from the previous item when the length of its base is 16 in.?

Problem 3 Got It? Reasoning: Graph the function rule from Problem 3 that is provided provided below. How do you know the rule is nonlinear? Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Vocabulary: Suppose you write an equation that gives a as a function of b. Which is the dependent variable?

Error Analysis: A worker has dug 3 holes for fence posts. It will take 15 min to dig each additional hole. Your friend writes the rule t = 15n + 3 for the time t, in minutes, required to dig n additional holes. Describe and correct your friend's error.

Reasoning: Is the graph of a function rule that relates a square's area to its side length continuous or discrete?

Review Lesson 4-4: Graph the function rules on the same plane.Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Review Lesson 2-6: Match equivalent amounts.

Vocabulary Review: In function notation, you read f(x) as "f of x." You can think of the value "f(x)" as another way of writing "y." Write how you would read h(g) aloud.

Vocabulary Review: Label the equations based on whether or not they are written using function notation.

Use Your Vocabulary: Consider the rule. For b, c, and d ≠ 0,Which equation is an example of this rule?

Use Your Vocabulary: Fill in the blank: The reason that rule in the previous item states that b, c, and d ≠ is because __?__.
