Warm Up 1.2.1 Solve Algebraically and Graphically A runner runs at a constant rate of 4.9 miles
per hour.
a. Determine how far the runner can run in 3.1
hours.
b. Determine how long it will take to run a
26.2-mile marathon.
Verbal model: Distance = Rate * Time

Representations of FunctionsIf you pour a cup of coffee, it cools more
rapidly at first, then less rapidly, finally
approaching room temperature.
Since there is one and only one
temperature at any one given time, we
can say that temperature is a
_____________ of time.

VariablesIn our coffee example, which is the
dependent variable and which is the
independent variable? Why?
The temperature depends on the amount of
time the coffee has been cooling.
Temperature Dependent
Time Independent

Domain and RangeDomain
The set of values of the independent variable.
(all “legal” values of x)
Range
The set of values of the dependent variable.
(all “legal” values of y)
What are the domain and range in our
example? 12

Function NotationA function is denoted by the symbol f (x),
“f of x” or “ the value of f at x”.
So, y = f (x).

Domain of a FunctionWe can specify the domain by what it is or by
what it is not.
Explicit Domain
Ex. The set of all real numbers.
Implicit Domain
Ex. x ≠ 0.
This implies all real numbers except x = 0.

Domain in General
The domain of many functions is the
set of all real numbers.
However, we cannot:
Divide by zero
Have a negative number in a square
root (or other even root).
