Algebra Function Notation

Function c is defined by the equation c(n) = 50 + 4n. It gives the monthly cost, in dollars, of visiting a gym as a function of the number of visits, n. Find the value of c(8) and explain what it means in this situation.

• $54; it means that 8 visits cost $54.

• $75; it means that 8 visits will cost $75.

• 8 visits will cost $62.

• 8 visits will cost $82.

The cost of holding a children's birthday party at a rollerskating rink is a function of n, the number of people in the party. The cost function, C, can be represented with this set of rules.

How much does it cost to have a party with 12 people?

• $150

• $260

• $400

Function c is defined by the equation c(n) = 50 + 4n. It gives the monthly cost, in dollars, of visiting a gym as a function of the number of visits, n. In this situation, what information would the inverse function give us?

• The number of visits

• How many gym visits if we know the monthly cost

• The cost of a membership

• The monthly cost if we know the gym visits

If f(x) = 3x - 9, find f(5).

• f(5) = 6

• f(5) = 16

• f(5) = -4

• f(5) = 24

How would you write y = 2x - 3 in function notation?

• y = 2x-3

• f = 2x - 3

• f(x) = 2x - 3

• Can't be written in function notation

Find f(2)

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 0

Is the relation a function? Why?

• Yes, because the x-value 11 has two y-values paired with it.

• Yes, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

• No, because the x-value 11 has two y-values paired with it.

• No, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

Is this mapping a function or not a function? 

• Function

• Not a Function 

Which set of values is a function?

• (9,5) (10,5) (9,-5) (10,-5)

• (3,4) (4,-3) (7,4) (3, 8)

• (6,-5) (7, -3) (8, -1) (9, 1)

• (2, -2) (5, 9) (5, -7) (1, 4)

Is this graph a function or not a function?
