Understanding Functions and Their Representations

This video tutorial introduces the concept of connecting different representations of functions. It guides viewers through identifying patterns in a table, writing ordered pairs, plotting these on a Cartesian plane, and graphing the function. The tutorial concludes by deriving the function rule and expressing it in both symbolic and verbal forms, emphasizing the linear nature of the function and its properties.

What is the first step in connecting different representations of functions?

• Constructing a graph

• Identifying patterns from a table

• Writing a symbolic rule

• Describing the relationship in words

How are ordered pairs written from a table of inputs and outputs?

• As a list of numbers

• As a single number

• In the form of (output, input)

• In the form of (input, output)

What is the purpose of scaling the axes on a Cartesian plane?

• To make the graph colorful

• To change the function's formula

• To accurately represent the range of inputs and outputs

• To make the graph look bigger

What are the coordinates of the origin on a Cartesian plane?

• (1, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (1, 0)

What type of function is represented by a straight line on a graph?

• Logarithmic function

• Quadratic function

• Exponential function

• Linear function

What is the symbolic rule for the function G(x) in this lesson?

• G(x) = x / 2

• G(x) = x + 2

• G(x) = 2x

• G(x) = x - 2

What is the vertical and horizontal intercept of the function G(x)?

• (1, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (2, 2)

• (3, 3)

How can the function G(x) be described in words?

• The function G(x) subtracts 2 from the input

• The function G(x) divides the input by 2

• The function G(x) doubles the input

• The function G(x) adds 2 to the input

What property of multiplication is used to express the function rule?

• Associative property

• Distributive property

• Commutative property

• Identity property

What is the relationship between the input and output in the function G(x)?

• The output is half the input

• The output is the input minus 2

• The output is the input plus 2

• The output is twice the input
