Lesson 5 - Functions

The document introduces functions and how to represent them using tables and equations. It provides examples of writing the rule in words and as an equation for different function tables relating variables like late fees, wheels on bicycles and tricycles, and cost of tickets. The document also covers using parentheses to group numbers when writing algebraic equations for word problems involving multiple operations.

Lesson 5 – Functions

Today you will describe a function


and express it as an equation.
A function is a rule that pairs each input with
only one output.

Rule: Add 3
Input Output
0 3
1 4
2 5
5 8
9 ? 12

Equation: I+3=O
Let’s complete each table.
Rule: Add 8 Rule: Multiply by 5
Input Output Input Output
1 9 0 0

2 10 6 30
3 11 8 40
4 12 9 45
5 13 4 20

Equation: I+8=O Equation: Ix5=O


For each table, write the rule and
complete the table. Then write an
equation.
Rule: Multiply by 4 Rule: Add 7
Input Output Input Output
0 0 7 14
2 8 2 9
3 12 15 22
4 16 3 10
6 24 11 18

Equation: Ix4=O Equation: I+7=O


Functions can describe many situations in
you everyday life. The table below shows
late fees for an over due book.
A function table will often contain variables. A
variable is a letter that is used to represent an
unknown number.

Write the rule in words and as an equation.


Rules in Words Late fee equals days times ten cents.
Equation f = 10d
Number of days Late (d) 1 2 3 4 5
Late fee (f) 10 ¢ 20 ¢ 30 ¢ 40 ¢ 50¢
For each function table, write
the rule in words and as an
equation. Then complete the
table.

Rules in Words Number of wheels equals bicycles times two.


Equation w= 2b
Bicycles (b) 1 2 3 4 5
Wheels (w) 2 4 6 8 10

Rules in Words Number of wheels equals tricycles times three.


Equation w= 3t
Tricycles (t) 1 2 4 5
Wheels (w) 3 6 9 15
Rules in Words Cost in dollars equals 7 times number of tickets
Equation d = 7t
Tickets (t) 1 2 3 4 5
Cost in dollars (d) 7 14 21 28 15
Lesson 6

With this lesson you will generate and solve


algebraic equations that involve grouping
with parentheses.
Parentheses () can be used to group the numbers in an equation.
The parentheses tell us which operations to do first. They are
removed after the operation inside them is performed.

Example: 6 + (2 x 9) = c

6 + 18 = 24
Let’s work some problems.
• Michael: I bought an eraser for 6 cents and 2
magnets for 9 cents each.

• Equation: 6 + (2 x 9) = x
• Answer: 24 cents

Begin by asking: What can I group together by


multiplying? 2 magnets for 9 cents each. (2 x 9)
• Emma: I bought 3 markers for 8 cents each
and a notebook for 10 cents.

• Equation: (3 x 8) + 10 = x
• Answer: 34 cents

• Begin by asking: What can I group together by


multiplying? 3 markers for 8 cents
each. (3 x 8)
• Alan: I bought 4 pencils for 3 cents each and 4
pens for 6 cents each.

• Equation: (4 x 3) + (4 x 6) = x
• Answer: 36 cents

• Begin by asking: What can I group together by


multiplying? 4 pencils for 3 cents (4 x 3)
4 pens for 6 cents (4 x 6)
• Lucy: I bought 3 calendars for 30 cents each.
One was bent, so it cost 5 cents less.

• Equation:
• Answer: (3 x 30) – 5 = x
85 cents
• Begin by asking: What can I group together by
multiplying?
3 calendars for 30 cents.
(3 x 30)
