FT
Value of functions

Aim:

A
• To construct an applet to establish geometrically the correspondence of a number and its
image under a function.
• To use this applet to find the images of numbers under various functions

R
• To use an applet to visualise the comparison of a function with an input-output machine.
Concepts:
• Image of a number a under a function f is denoted by f (a)
D
• Graph of a function is a collection of points (a, f (a))
Discussion :
For any number a, (a, f (a)) is the corresponding point on the graph of the function f (x), so its
y coordinate gives the value of f (a). We use this idea for constructing our applet. Once such an
applet is constructed, we can simply change the function and use it for different functions.
Sometimes we compare a function with a machine which gives an output, according to the definition
of the function, for a given input. In Activity 1.3 we use an Applet which helps us to visualise this
comparison. By this activity we get a clear idea about the domain of the function.

Activity 1.1 Functions

Procedure:
• Draw the graph of f (x) = x2 .
R

• Create a number slider a with increment 0.1


To show the coordinates of a
• Plot the points A(a, 0), B(a, f (a)), C(0, f (a)). point, right click on the point.
(give inputs like A=(a,0)).
E

Go to Object Properties → Ba-


• Draw the line segments AB and BC sic → Show Label and select the
using line segment tool. Name and Value option

• Show the coordinates of A, B, and C.


SC

• Now drag the point A along the x axis (either click and drag the point or using slider - click
and drag the slider point to change the value ofa) and observe the movement of C on the y
axis.

Using this, find the values of (2.3)2 ,(−1.8)2 ,(.9)2 ,(2.9)2 . . .

Activity 1.2 Values of Functions

Procedure:
• Open the file Activity 1.1 and save as Activity 1.2
• Create an input box for f and change the function
using it.
(Select input box tool, →Graphics view → give a

suitable caption (say function) → linked object →
f (x) = x2 )
• Similarly create an input box for the slider.

Change the functions accordingly and find the fol-

approaches the origin
R
Change the function to f (x) = [x] and observe the movement of C according to A

Activity 1.3 Function Machine


D
Procedure :
Use Applet ML 1.3
About the Applet
Three switches are provided on the machine
• GREEN :- Click to start the machine.
• RED :- Click to stop the machine.
T

• BLUE :- Click to reset.


Using input boxes we can change the function and
the input number.
R

The warning light provided on the machine turns


red if the input number is out of the domain of
the function.
E

√
Change the function to f (x) = x and find the values of the following.

Additional Activities

Activity 1.A Temperature Scales

Discussion

FT
There are various scales to measure temperature. Perhaps the most popular ones are the Fahrenheit
and the Celsius scales.
F (C) is the Fahrenheit temperature corresponding to the Celsius temperature C and they related
to each other as
9
F (C) = C + 32
5
• Plot the graph of the above function (Consider C as
the variable x)

A
• From the graph identify the Celsius temper-
ature at which the Fahrenheit temperature become In GeoGebra the variables are x,
zero y and z. So you may have to use
x instead of C in the equation.

•

perature at which the Celsius temperature become
