8 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 8 of 78 Functions in ApplicationEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Response to a Muscle) When a solution of acetylcholine is introduced into the heart muscle of a frog, it diminishes the force with which the muscle contracts. The data from experiments of the biologist A. J. Clark are closely approximated by a function of the form where x is the concentration of acetylcholine (in appropriate units), b is a positive constant that depends on the particular frog, and R(x) is the response of the muscle to the acetylcholine, expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible effect of the drug. (a) Suppose that b = 20. Find the response of the muscle when x = 60. (b) Determine the value of b if R(50) = 60 – that is, if a concentration of x = 50 units produces a 60% response. This is the given function. (a)

9 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 9 of 78 Functions in Application Replace b with 20 and x with 60. CONTINUED Simplify the numerator and denominator. Divide. Therefore, when b = 20 and x = 60, R (x) = 75%. This is the given function. (b) Replace x with 50. Replace R(50) with 60.

10 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 10 of 78 Functions in ApplicationCONTINUED Simplify the numerator. Multiply both sides by b + 50 and cancel. Distribute on the left side. Subtract 3000 from both sides. Divide both sides by 60. Therefore, when R (50) = 60, b = 33.3.

11 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 11 of 78 FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION If, find f (a - 2). This is the given function. Replace each occurrence of x with a – 2. Evaluate (a – 2) 2 = a 2 – 4a + 4. Remove parentheses and distribute. Combine like terms.

12 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 12 of 78 Domain DefinitionExample Domain of a Function: The set of acceptable values for the variable x. The domain of the function is

13 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 13 of 78 Graphs of Functions DefinitionExample Graph of a Function: The set of all points (x, f (x)) where x is the domain of f (x). Generally, this forms a curve in the xy- plane.

14 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 14 of 78 The Vertical Line Test DefinitionExample Vertical Line Test: A curve in the xy-plane is the graph of a function if and only if each vertical line cuts or touches the curve at no more than one point. Although the red line intersects the graph no more than once (not at all in this case), there does exist a line (the yellow line) that intersects the graph more than once. Therefore, this is not the graph of a function.

15 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 15 of 78 Graphing Calculators Graphing Using a Graphing Calculator StepDisplay 1) Enter the expression for the function. 2) Enter the specifications for the viewing window. 3) Display the graph.

16 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 16 of 78 Graphs of EquationsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Is the point (3, 12) on the graph of the function ? This is the given function. Replace x with 3. Replace f (3) with 12. Simplify. Multiply. false Since replacing x with 3 and f (x) with 12 did not yield a true statement in the original function, we conclude that the point (3, 12) is not on the graph of the function.

17 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 17 of 78 § 0.2 Some Important Functions

18 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 18 of 78  Linear Equations  Applications of Linear Functions  Piece-Wise Functions  Quadratic Functions  Polynomial Functions  Rational Functions  Power Functions  Absolute Value Function Section Outline

19 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 19 of 78 Linear Equations EquationExample y = mx + b (This is a linear function) x = a (This is not the graph of a function)

20 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 20 of 78 Linear Equations EquationExample y = b CONTINUED

21 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 21 of 78 Applications of Linear FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Enzyme Kinetics) In biochemistry, such as in the study of enzyme kinetics, one encounters a linear function of the form, where K and V are constants. (a) If f (x) = 0.2x + 50, find K and V so that f (x) may be written in the form,. (b) Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line in terms of K and V. Explained above. (a) Since the number 50 in the equation f (x) = 0.2x + 50 is in place of the term 1/V (from the original function), we know the following. 50 = 1/V Multiply both sides by V. 50V = 1 Divide both sides by 50. V = 0.02 Now that we know what V is, we can determine K. Since the number 0.2 in the equation f (x) = 0.2x + 50 is in place of K/V (from the original function), we know the following.

22 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 22 of 78 Applications of Linear Functions Explained above. Therefore, in the equation f (x) = 0.2x + 50, K = 0.004 and V = 0.02. 0.2 = K/V Multiply both sides by V. 0.2V = K Replace V with 0.02. 0.2(0.02) = K (b) To find the x-intercept of the original function, replace f (x) with 0. CONTINUED Multiply.0.004 = K This is the original function. Replace f (x) with 0. Solve for x by first subtracting 1/V from both sides.

23 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 23 of 78 Applications of Linear FunctionsCONTINUED Multiply both sides by V/K. Simplify. Therefore, the x-intercept is -1/K. To find the y-intercept of the original function, we recognize that this equation is in the form y = mx + b. Therefore we know that 1/V is the y-intercept.

24 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 24 of 78 Piece-Wise FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Sketch the graph of the following function. We graph the function f (x) = 1 + x only for those values of x that are less than or equal to 3. Notice that for all values of x greater than 3, there is no line.

25 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 25 of 78 Piece-Wise Functions Now we graph the function f (x) = 4 only for those values of x that are greater than 3. Notice that for all values of x less than or equal to 3, there is no line. CONTINUED

31 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 31 of 78 Absolute Value Function DefinitionExample Absolute Value Function: The function defined for all numbers x by such that |x| is understood to be x if x is positive and –x if x is negative

32 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 32 of 78 § 0.3 The Algebra of Functions

34 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 34 of 78 Adding FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Given and, express f (x) + g (x) as a rational function. Replace f (x) and g (x) with the given functions. f (x) + g (x) = Multiply to get common denominators. Evaluate. Add. Simplify the numerator.

35 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 35 of 78 Adding Functions Evaluate the denominator. CONTINUED Simplify the denominator.

36 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 36 of 78 Subtracting FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Given and, express f (x) - g (x) as a rational function. Replace f (x) and g (x) with the given functions. f (x) - g (x) = Multiply to get common denominators. Evaluate. Subtract. Simplify the numerator.

37 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 37 of 78 Subtracting Functions Evaluate the denominator. CONTINUED Simplify the denominator.

38 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 38 of 78 Multiplying FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Given and, express f (x)g (x) as a rational function. Replace f (x) and g (x) with the given functions. f (x)g (x) = Multiply the numerators and denominators. Evaluate.

39 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 39 of 78 Dividing FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Given and, express [f (x)]/[g (x)] as a rational function. Replace f (x) and g (x) with the given functions. f (x)/g (x) = Rewrite as a product (multiply by reciprocal of denominator). Multiply the numerators and denominators. Evaluate.

40 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 40 of 78 Composition of FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Conversion Scales) Table 1 shows a conversion table for men’s hat sizes for three countries. The function converts from British sizes to French sizes, and the function converts from French sizes to U.S. sizes. Determine the function h (x) = f (g (x)) and give its interpretation. This is what we will determine.h (x) = f (g (x)) In the function f, replace each occurrence of x with g (x). Replace g (x) with 8x + 1.

41 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 41 of 78 Composition of Functions Distribute. CONTINUED Multiply. Therefore, h (x) = f (g (x)) = x + 1/8. Now to determine what this function h (x) means, we must recognize that if we plug a number into the function, we may first evaluate that number plugged into the function g (x). Upon evaluating this, we move on and evaluate that result in the function f (x). This is illustrated as follows. g (x) f (x) British French French U.S. h (x)h (x) Therefore, the function h (x) converts a men’s British hat size to a men’s U.S. hat size.

42 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 42 of 78 § 0.4 Zeros of Functions – The Quadratic Formula and Factoring

43 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 43 of 78  Zeros of Functions  Quadratic Formula  Graphs of Intersecting Lines  Factoring Section Outline

44 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 44 of 78 Zeros of Functions DefinitionExample Zero of a Function: For a function f (x), all values of x such that f (x) = 0.

45 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 45 of 78 Quadratic Formula DefinitionExample Quadratic Formula: A formula for solving any quadratic equation of the form. The solution is: There is no solution if These are the solutions/zeros of the quadratic function

46 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 46 of 78 Graphs of Intersecting FunctionsEXAMPLE SOLUTION Find the points of intersection of the pair of curves. The graphs of the two equations can be seen to intersect in the following graph. We can use this graph to help us to know whether our final answer is correct.

47 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 47 of 78 Graphs of Intersecting Functions To determine the intersection points, set the equations equal to each other, since they both equal the same thing: y. This is the equation to solve. Now we solve the equation for x using the quadratic formula. CONTINUED Subtract x from both sides. Add 9 to both sides. Use the quadratic formula. We now recognize that, for the quadratic formula, a = 1, b = -11, and c =18. Simplify.

48 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 48 of 78 Graphs of Intersecting FunctionsCONTINUED We now find the corresponding y-coordinates for x = 9 and x = 2. We can use either of the original equations. Let’s use y = x – 9. Simplify. Rewrite. Simplify.

49 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 49 of 78 Graphs of Intersecting FunctionsCONTINUED Therefore the solutions are (9, 0) and (2, -7). This seems consistent with the two intersection points on the graph. A zoomed in version of the graph follows.

Factor 2x out of each term. Rewrite 3 as Now I can use the factorization pattern: a 2 – b 2 = (a – b)(a + b). Rewrite

52 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 52 of 78 Factoring Set each factor equal to zero. CONTINUED Solve. Since no denominator from the original equation is zero when x = -1 or when x = 6, these are our solutions.

53 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 53 of 78 § 0.5 Exponents and Power Functions

61 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 61 of 78 Applications of ExponentsCONTINUED Subtract. Divide.

62 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 62 of 78 Compound Interest - Annual DefinitionExample Compound Interest Formula: A = the compound amount (how much money you end up with) P = the principal amount invested i = the compound interest rate per interest period n = the number of compounding periods If $700 is invested, compounded annually at 8% for 8 years, this will grow to: Therefore, the compound amount would be $1,295.65.

63 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 63 of 78 Compound Interest - General

64 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 64 of 78 Compound Interest - GeneralEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Quarterly Compound) Assume that a $500 investment earns interest compounded quarterly. Express the value of the investment after one year as a polynomial in the annual rate of interest r. Since interest is not being compounded annually, we must use this formula. Replace P with 500, m with 4 (interest is compounded 4 times each year), and t with 1 (interest is being compounded for 1 year). Simplify.

65 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 65 of 78 § 0.6 Functions and Graphs in Application

66 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 66 of 78  Geometric Problems  Cost, Revenue, and Profit  Surface Area  Functions and Graphs Section Outline

67 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 67 of 78 Geometric ProblemsEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Fencing a Rectangular Corral) Consider a rectangular corral with two partitions, as shown below. Assign letters to the outside dimensions of the corral. Write an equation expressing the fact that the corral has a total area of 2500 square feet. Write an expression for the amount of fencing needed to construct the corral (including both partitions). First we will assign letters to represent the dimensions of the corral. xxxx y y

68 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 68 of 78 Geometric Problems Now we write an equation expressing the fact that the corral has a total area of 2500 square feet. Since the corral is a rectangle with outside dimensions x and y, the area of the corral is represented by: CONTINUED Now we write an expression for the amount of fencing needed to construct the corral (including both partitions). To determine how much fencing will be needed, we add together the lengths of all the sides of the corral (including the partitions). This is represented by:

69 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 69 of 78 Cost ProblemsEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Cost of Fencing) Consider the corral of the last example. Suppose the fencing for the boundary of the corral costs $10 per foot and the fencing for the inner partitions costs $8 per foot. Write an expression for the total cost of the fencing. This is the diagram we drew to represent the corral. xxxx y y Since the boundary of the fence is represented by the red part of the diagram, the length of fencing for this portion of the corral is x + x + y + y = 2x + 2y. Therefore the cost of fencing the boundary of the fence is (2x + 2y)(cost of boundary fencing per foot) = (2x + 2y)(10) = 20x + 20y.

70 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 70 of 78 Cost Problems Therefore, an expression for the total cost of the fencing is: Since the inner partitions of the fence are represented by the blue part of the diagram, the length of fencing for this portion of the corral is x + x = 2x. Therefore the cost of fencing the inner partitions of the fence is (2x)(cost of inner partition fencing per foot) = (2x)(8) = 16x. CONTINUED (cost of boundary fencing) + (cost of inner partition fencing) (20x + 20y) + (16x) 36x + 20y

71 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 71 of 78 Surface AreaEXAMPLE SOLUTION Assign letters to the dimensions of the geometric box and then determine an expression representing the surface area of the box. First we assign letters to represent the dimensions of the box. x y z

72 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 72 of 78 Surface Area Now we determine an expression for the surface area of the box. Note, the box has 5 sides which we will call Left (L), Right (R), Front (F), Back (B), and Bottom (Bo). We will find the area of each side, one at a time, and then add them all up. L: yz x y z CONTINUED R: yz F: xzB: xz Bo: xy Therefore, an expression that represents the surface area of the box is: yz + yz + xz + xz + xy = 2yz +2xz +xy.

73 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 73 of 78 Cost, Revenue, & ProfitEXAMPLE SOLUTION (Cost, Revenue, and Profit) An average sale at a small florist shop is $21, so the shop’s weekly revenue function is R(x) = 21x where x is the number of sales in 1 week. The corresponding weekly cost is C(x) = 9x + 800 dollars. (a) What is the florist shop’s weekly profit function? (b) How much profit is made when sales are at 120 per week? (c) If the profit is $1000 for a week, what is the revenue for the week? (a) Since Profit = Revenue – Cost, the profit function, P(x), would be: P(x) = R(x) – C(x) P(x) = 21x – (9x + 800) P(x) = 21x – 9x - 800 P(x) = 12x - 800

74 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 74 of 78 Cost, Revenue, & Profit (b) Since x represents the number of sales in one week, to determine how much profit is made when sales are at 120 per week, we will replace x with 120 in the profit function and then evaluate. P(120) = 12(120) - 800 CONTINUED P(120) = 1,440 - 800 P(120) = 640 Therefore, when sales are at 120 per week, profit is $640 for that week. (c) To determine the revenue for the week when the profit is $1000 for that week, we use an equation that contains profit, namely the profit function: Now we replace P(x) with 1000 and solve for x. P(x) = 12x - 800 1000 = 12x - 800 1800 = 12x 150 = x Therefore x, the number of units sold in a week, is 150 when profit is $1000.

75 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 75 of 78 Cost, Revenue, & Profit Now, to determine the corresponding revenue, we replace x with 150 in the revenue function. CONTINUED R(x) = 21x Therefore, when profit is $1000 in a week, the corresponding revenue is $3,150. R(150) = 21(150) R(150) = 3,150 NOTE: In order to determine the desired revenue value in part (c), we needed to solve for R(x). But in order to do that, we needed to have a value for x to plug into the R(x) function. In order to acquire that value for x, we needed to use the given information – profit is $1000.

76 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 76 of 78 Functions & GraphsEXAMPLE The function f (r) gives the cost (in cents) of constructing a 100-cubic-inch cylinder of radius r inches. The graph of f (r) is given. (a) What is the cost of constructing a cylinder of radius 6 inches? (b) Interpret the fact that the point (3, 162) is on the graph of the function. (c) Interpret the fact that the point (3, 162) is the lowest point on the graph of the function. What does this say in terms of cost versus radius?

77 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 77 of 78 Functions & GraphsSOLUTION To determine the cost of constructing a cylinder of radius 6 inches, we look on the graph where r = 6. The corresponding y value will be the cost we are seeking. CONTINUED The red arrow is emphasizing the point in which we are interested. The y value of that point is 270. Therefore, the cost of constructing a cylinder of radius 6 inches is 270 cents or $2.70.

78 Goldstein/Schneider/Lay/Asmar, CALCULUS AND ITS APPLICATIONS, 11e – Slide 78 of 78 Functions & Graphs (b) The fact that the point (3, 162) is on the graph tells us that the cost to make 100-cubic-inch cylinders with a radius as small as 3 inches is 162 cents or $1.62. CONTINUED (c) The fact that the point (3, 162) is the lowest point on the graph tells us that the least expensive 100-cubic-inch cylinder that can be made is a 3 inch cylinder at a cost of $1.62. Therefore, the 3 inch cylinder is the most cost-effective one that is offered.
