What is the gate’s input? What is the gate’s output? What might be implied if all the rules were followed but there were still children 10 years old and younger in the ballpark without caps? 3.1.3: Domain and Range

What is the gate’s input? The input is what enters through the gate. Children who haven’t yet received caps are entering the gate, so the input is “children without caps.” 3.1.3: Domain and Range

What is the gate’s output? The children who come out of the gate all have caps. Therefore, the output of the gate is “children with caps.” 3.1.3: Domain and Range

What might be implied if all the rules were followed but there were still children 10 years old and younger in the ballpark without caps?

Connection to the Lesson The warm-up describes a function with a specific set of potential inputs and a specific set of potential outputs. In the lesson, a function’s domain and range will be defined. The warm-up provides students practice with inputs and outputs in a purely contextual sense. 3.1.3: Domain and Range
