Amount earned ($) 1 5 2 10 3 15 4 20

3. Ex 2) X Y 1 -2 2 -1 3 4

4. Identify the independent and dependent variables in each situation.

5. Ex 5) The faster Ron walks, the quicker he gets home Ex 6) A company charges $10 per hour to rent a jackhammer

6. Function notation: f(x) reads “f of x or function of x” The dependent variable is a function of the independent variable. y is a function of x y = f(x)

7. Identify the independent and dependent variables
Identify the independent and dependent variables. Write an equation in function notation for each situation.
Ex 7) A lawyer’s fee is $200 per hour for her services Ex 8) The admission fee to a local carnival is $8. Each ride cost $1.50

8. Evaluate each function for the given input values
Ex 9) For f(x) = 5x find f(x) when x = 6 and x = 7.5 Ex 10) For g(t) = 2.30t + 10 find g(t) when t = 2 and t = -5

9. Ex 11) For h(x) = 1 2 x – 3 find h(x) when x = 12 and x = -8

10. Ex 12) What would be a reasonable domain and range for each situation?
The cost of shipping a package depends on its weight
Purchase price of CD’s
