• Identifying domain and range
• Function Notation
REVIEW:
n What is a function?
n The domain is { 2, 4, 6, 8}
Domain 3 ≤ x ≤ 12
The range of a function is the set of all the y-
coordinates in the functions’ graph
Range 6 ≤ y ≤ 12
What is the domain of this function?
What is the range of this function?
Domain is 0 ≤ x ≤ 4
Range is 1 ≤ y ≤ 5
The graph shows the path of a golf ball
A -1 ≤ x ≤ 5
B -1 ≤ x ≤ 9
C 2≤x≤5
D 0≤ y≤ 9
What is the domain of the function
shown on the graph?
A -2 < y ≤ 2
B -4 ≤ x ≤ 6
C -4 < y ≤ 2
D -2 < x ≤ 6
Sometimes you will be asked to
determine a REASONABLE domain
or range
The average daily high temperature for the
month of May is represented by the function
t = 0.2n + 80
Where n is the date of the month. May has 31
days. What is a reasonable estimate of the
domain?
Answer: 1 ≤ n ≤ 31
What is a reasonable estimate of the range
Answer: See next slide
Our function rule is:
t = 0.2n + 80
Our domain is 1 ≤ n ≤ 31
Our smallest possible n is 1
Our largest possible n is 31
f ( x) = x + 3
f of x equals x + 3
is read as “ ___________________________________”
Function
Read as
Notation
f ( x) = x 2 f of x equals x 2
f(x) = 2x + 6
f(3) = 2(3) + 6
f(3) = 12
Given f(x) = 3x – 4, evaluate f(4).
f(4) = 8
g(5) = 0
Given f(x) = 4x + 8, determine the range given
the domain of { 0, 2, 4 }.
Range = { 8, 16, 24 }
Evaluating Functions
Given f(x) = 4x + 8, find each:
f(2) +3 = (4(2) + 8) + 3
= (8 + 8) + 3
= 16 + 3
= 19
f(-4a) = 4(-4a) + 8
= -16a+ 8
