1. Explain any differences between a relation and a function.

 

2. Describe how the phrase "is a function of" relates to the mathematical definition of function. For example, the diameter of a tree is a function of its age.

 

3. Write how you would find g(1) if g(x)=3x+12

 

4. You decide Is the statement "All linear equations are functions" true? Support your answer with examples or counterexamples.

 

5. The following set of ordered pairs describe a relation between x and y: {(1, -1), (-1, 2), (4, -3), (3, 2), (-2, -4), (3, -3)}. Is y a function of x? Is x a function of y? Explain your answer with a valid argument.

 

Determine whether each relation is a function.

6. {(-3, 1), (-1, 3), (1, -2), (3, 2)}

 

7.

 x  y
 -2  3
 5  3
5  4
4   0

 

8.

 

 

9. 2x + 3y = 36

 

 

10. y + 5 = 7x

 

Bonus: If h(x) = 3x + 2, find each value below:

a. h (-4)

b. h (2)

c. h (w)
