4.1: Notice and Wonder: Doubling Back

4.2: Equations and Graphs of Functions

The graphs of three functions are shown.

Label each of the axes with the independent and dependent variables and the quantities they represent.

For each function: What is the output when the input is 1? What does this tell you about the situation? Label the corresponding point on the graph.

Are you ready for more?

A function inputs fractions a/b between 0 and 1 where a and b have no common factors, and outputs the fraction 1/b. For example, given the input 3/4 the function outputs 1/4, and to the input 1/2 the function outputs 1/2. These two input-output pairs are shown on the graph. 

Plot at least 10 more points on the graph of this function.

Are most points on the graph above or below a height of 0.3? Of height 0.01?

4.3: Running around a Track

Kiran was running around the track. The graph shows the time, t, he took to run various distances, d. The table shows his time in seconds after every three meters.

How long did it take Kiran to run 6 meters?

How far had he gone after 6 seconds?

Priya is running once around the track. The graph shows her time given how far she is from her starting point.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
A=\pi r^2, where A is the area in square centimeters of a circle with radius r centimeters.
d=60t, where d is the distance in miles that you would travel in t hours if you drove at 60 miles per hour.
q=50-0.4d, where q is the number of quarters, and d is the number of dimes, in a pile of coins worth $12.50.
