‭Task Points:‬
‭Task: Function Representations‬
‭100‬

‭Part A‬
‭ ‬
‭1. Determine whether a described relation is a function.‬ ‭8/ 8‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬‭Correct.‬

‭ revious comments: Your selection is incorrect. Remember, a relationship is a function if there is only one‬
P
‭y-value for each x-value. In this situation, the x’s represent the time in days, and the y’s represent the‬
‭amount of plant food remaining in the container at the end of each day. Here’s the question you need to‬
‭ask yourself: Can there be two different amounts of plant food in the container at the end of the day?‬

‭ ere is a link to a video that will walk you through each part of this activity:‬

‭ ‬
‭2. Represent a relation symbolically using function notation.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭10/ 10‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬‭That looks good.‬

 ‭Unit Activity: Functions‬
‭ revious comments: The term you have is incorrect. You should have 2 terms. One is going to represent‬
P
‭the amount of plant food that Ryan starts with. The other will represent how much the plant food‬
‭decreases each day. Watch the help video to see how to write this function rule. ‬

‭ ‬
‭3. Identify the domain and the range of a described function.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭2/ 10‬
‭ ‬

T‭ eacher Comments‬‭: ‬‭This is a discrete situation, so you’ll need a list of numbers instead (look at what‬
‭you have in your graph and use those values for your Domain and Range).‬

‭ revious comments: Your domain and range are both incorrect. Use the video to help. Tip: the domain is‬
P
‭the x values you substitute into the equation you wrote in question 2. The Range is the result you get from‬
‭making the x substitutions. Watch the video for more tips.‬

‭ ‬
‭4. Graph a described function.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭10/ 10‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬ ‭All fixed.‬

‭ revious comments: Your graph is the inverse of what it should be. Remember, as the number of days goes‬
P
‭up (as time passes by), the amount of plant food left in the container decreases. Use the video to help.‬

‭ ‬
‭5. Interpret the‬‭x‬‭-intercept of a function.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭8/ 8‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬

‭Part B‬
‭ ‬
‭1. Determine whether a relation given symbolically is a function.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭8/ 8‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬

‭ ‬
‭2. Identify the domain and the range of a function given symbolically.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭10/ 10‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬‭Got it.‬

‭ revious comments: Your range is correct, but the domain is incorrect. I do agree that you’ll be using the‬
P
‭numbers 1-6, but in this scenario you could also use 1.5 or 2.1 or 5.9. This means your domain should be‬
‭represented by a compound inequality instead of a list of numbers. Use the help video for more tips. ‬

‭3. Graph a function given symbolically.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭10/ 10‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‭M
‬ uch better.‬

‭ revious comments: I’m seeing two different relations on the graph. Which one is your answer? I‬
P
‭recommend completing the table first. Use the video to help. Remember, all you need to do is substitute‬
‭the x values listed in the table in for d. That will give you h, which is the same thing as f(x). Then plot each‬
‭of the points you came up with to get your line. ‬

‭ ‬
‭4. Interpret the‬‭y‬‭-intercept of a function‬ ‭ ‬ ‭8/ 8‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬

‭ ‬
‭5. Use function notation to represent and evaluate a function given symbolically.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭10/ 10‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬

‭Part C‬
‭ ‬
‭a. Communicate the differences and similarities between the relationships.‬ ‭ ‬ ‭8/ 8‬
‭ ‬

‭Teacher Comments‬‭: ‬‭Okay.‬

‭ revious comments: Answer these questions to explain the similarities and differences between the two‬
P
‭relationships:‬

‭ )‬ D
1 ‭ o they have a start value that is different from zero? Do they have the same start value?‬
‭2)‬ ‭What happens to the amount of plant food over time? Increase? Decrease? Stay the same?‬
‭3)‬ ‭What happens to the height of the plant over time? Increase? Decrease? Stay the same?‬
