IM3  -­‐  Lesson  1:  Introduction  to  Functions   Unit  1  –  Basics  of  Function    

A. Lesson  Context  

 BIG  PICTURE  of  this  UNIT:    

• What  do  we  mean  by  the  term  “function”  • How  do  we  work  with  the  concept  of  “functions”  given  our  prior  experience  with  

linear  and  exponential  relations  from  IM2?  • How  do  we  apply  the  function  concept  to  linear  systems?  

 CONTEXT  of  this  LESSON:    

Where  we’ve  been    In  your  video  HW,  you  were  introduced  to  the  concept  of  relations  an  functions  

Where  we  are    How  do  we  work  with  function  notations  &  the  multiple    representations  of  functions,  both  in  a  mathematical  &  a  contextual  context  

Where  we  are  heading    How  do  we  apply  the  concept  of  “functions”  to  linear  &  exponential  relations  

 

B. Lesson  Objectives  a. Find  the  domain  and  range  of  a  relation.  b. Identify  if  a  relation  is  a  function  or  not.  c. Work  with  function  notation  &  evaluating  functions.  d. Work  with  function  notation  in  application  based  problems.

IM3  -­‐  Lesson  1:  Introduction  to  Functions   Unit  1  –  Basics  of  Function    

D. NEW  CONCEPT  for  IM3:  Function  Basics  (Summary  from  Videos)    

a. Relations:    i. A  "relation"  is  just  a  relationship  between  sets  of  information;    

ii. A  relation  refers  to  a  set  of  input  and  output  values,  usually  represented  in  ordered  pairs  

iii. A  relation  is  simply  a  set  of  ordered  pairs.  

 

b. Functions:    i. A  function  is  a  "well-­‐behaved"  relation    When  we  say  that  a  function  is  "a  well-­‐behaved  

relation",  we  mean  that,  given  a  starting  point,  we  know  exactly  where  to  go;  given  an  x,  we  get  

only  and  exactly  one  y.  

ii. Function  is  a  relation  in  which  each  element  of  the  domain  is  paired  with  exactly  one  element  of  

the  range.  

iii. A  function  is  a  set  of  ordered  pairs  in  which  each  x-­‐element  has  only  ONE  y-­‐element  associated  

with  it.  

iv. A  function  is  a  rule  that  takes  an  input,  does  something  to  it,  and  gives  a  unique  corresponding  

output.  

 

c. Notations:  i. Rather  than  writing  linear  equations  in  the  typical  y  =  mx  +  b  format,  we  will  now  write  them  in  

function  notation    as  f(x)  =  mx  +  b  where  “f”  simply  refers  to  the  function  name  and  the  x  

refers  to  the  input  and  f(x)  (or  y)  refers  to  the  output  

ii. Evaluate    if  f(x)  =  2x  +  4,  then  we  can  evaluate  f(3)  as  ……    

iii. Solve    if  f(x)  =  2x  +  4,  then  we  can  solve  12  =  f(x)  as  …..    

 

d. Understanding  Domain  and  Range:  

i. The  set  of  all  the  starting  points  is  called  "the  domain"  and  the  set  of  all  the  ending  points  is  

called  "the  range."    

ii. The  domain  is  what  you  start  with;  the  range  is  what  you  end  up  with.    

iii. The  domain  is  the  x's;  the  range  is  the  y's

D. NEW  CONCEPT  for  IM3:  Function  Basics  (Summary  from  Videos)    e. Understanding  the  Notation  

 So  the  symbols  that  make  up  this  notation  of      f(3)  =  7        communicate  INFORMATION    

 

f   3   7  

 

 

 

   

   The  information  being  communicated  by  these  “symbols”  can  also  be  PRESENTED  in  ALTERNATE  WAYS:    

(i)  op   (ii)  m   (iii)  g  

   To  show  the  RELATIONSHIP  between  the  INPUT  VALUES  &  OUTPUT  VALUES,  we  can  use  EQUATIONS:

H.  Application  of  Functions  

Mr.  S.  went  on  a  two  day  hiking  and  camping  adventure  with  his  son  Andrew.  Here  is  a  function  y  =  d(t)  which  represents  a  Distance-­‐Time  graph  for  Mr.  S’s  and  Andrew’s  hike.  The  x  axis  (the  independent  variable)  is  time  in  hours  since  we  left  our  campsite  and  the  y-­‐axis  represents  the  distance  from  our  campsite.  

 

 

d. Evaluate  d(0)  and  interpret  what  this  point  represents.    

 

e. Evaluate  d(5)  and  interpret  what  this  point  represents.  

 

f. Evaluate  d(15)  and  interpret  what  this  point  represents.  

 

g. For  what  values  of  t  does  d(t)  =  8?  Interpret  your  answer  in  the  context  of  the  problem.  

 

h. For  what  values  of  t  does  d(t)  =  12?  Interpret  your  answer  in  the  context  of  the  problem.  

 

i. For  what  values  of  t  does  d(t)  =  0?  Interpret  your  answer  in  the  context  of  the  problem.
