Exploring Graphs of Functions

This video tutorial covers the topic of graphs of functions, divided into three parts. It begins with an introduction to the lesson structure and the use of function notation. The teacher explains how to interpret graphs, using a temperature graph as an example. The lesson includes evaluating functions from graphs, calculating changes in temperature, and understanding the concepts of domain and range. The tutorial aims to help students read data points from graphs and apply function notation effectively.

What is the main topic of the lesson?

• Statistics

• Algebraic equations

• Graphs of functions

• Calculus

What does a negative value in the temperature change calculation indicate?

• An increase in temperature

• A decrease in temperature

• No change in temperature

• An error in calculation

What is the domain of the function in the example?

• All real numbers

• All temperatures from 36 to 86 degrees

• All dates in a year

• All months from January to December

What is the range of the function in the example?

• All temperatures from 36 to 86 degrees

• All months from January to December

• All real numbers

• All dates in a year

CCSS.HSF.IF.A.1

Why might some people argue that the domain includes all months of any year?

• Because the graph has arrows indicating it continues

• Because the graph is incomplete

• Because the temperature is always the same

• Because the months repeat every year

What does dividing the total temperature drop by the number of months tell us?

• The total temperature change

• The average temperature change per month

• The highest temperature

• The lowest temperature

What is the purpose of reading data points off a graph using function notation?

• To simplify the graph

• To find the exact values of the variables

• To understand the relationship between variables

• To make the graph look better
