$3.50 Discussion Question Week 5 Mat116

  • From Mathematics: Algebra
  • Closed, but you can still post tutorials
  • Due on Aug. 19, 2008
  • Asked on Aug. 05, 2008 at 05:02:33AM
Q:
2. Discussion Question 1
· Due Date: Day 2 [Main forum]
· Post your response to the following: What similarities and differences do you see between
functions and linear equations studied in Ch. 3? Are all linear equations functions? Is there an
instance when a linear equation is not a function? Support your answer. Create an equation of a
nonlinear function and provide two inputs for your classmates to evaluate.
· Provide additional similarities and differences between functions and linear equations. Challenge
your classmates by providing more intricate examples of nonlinear functions for them to solve.

3. Discussion Question 2
· Due Date: Day 4 [Main forum]
· Post your response to the following: What is the difference between domain and range? Describe
a real-life situation that could be modeled by a function.
· Describe the values for x that may not be
appropriate values even when they are defined by your classmatesÂ’ function. A function could, for
example, indicate the amount of bone strength (y) in a living human body over time in years (x). It
would not make sense to look at negative years, because the person would not yet be born.
Likewise, looking beyond 100 years might not make sense, as many people do not live to be 100.

I can solve this for the x-values that make the equation true:<br>x^2 = 8 – x^2<br>2x^2 = 8<br>x^2 = 4<br>x = –2, +2<br>Then the solutions to the original system will occur when x = –2 and when x = +2.<br>What are the corresponding y-values? To find them, I plug the x-values back in to either original equation. I'll plug the x-values into the first equation, because it's the simpler of the two:<br>x = –2:<br>y = x^2<br>y = (–2)^2 = 4<br>x = +2:<br>y = x^2<br>y = (+2)^2 = 4<br><br>Then the solutions (as w ...

Sometimes it is called the image, or more precisely, the image of the domain of the function. Range is also occasionally used to indicate the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in a set of real-valued data. If f is a surjection then its range is equal to its ...

Zero is an example of this scenario because you cannot divide by zero. <br> <br>f(x) = 6/x In this example, the domain is represented as x = <> 0. <br> <br>Linear Equations<br>A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. Linear equations can have one or more variables. A typical form of a linear equation is y = mx + b. These type of equations form straight lines. The constant “m” determines the slope of ...

Preview: ... al line such as x = 3, you can't make this into a function. You can only put in the number 3, and any number can come out. [The point (5, y) is on the line for any value of y.] A function isn't allowed to do this. Therefore, a linear function is never graphed by a vertical line. The slope-intercept form can describe any linear function. <br>A function always outputs a value. Suppose the function <br>f(x) = 10x + 20, what this means is that this function outputs different values for different input values of variable 'x'. For example: f(10) = 10 10 + 20 = 120, <br>f(20) = 10 20 + 20 = 220. i.e. we substitute different values into x and get different outputs. The important point is that every function outpu ...
