Profit ° Number of Meals Height Time : Does this curve appear to have a positive slope or a negative slope? Why do you suppose this is the case? : Why does this curve slope more steeply upward as time increases? What is the domain of this function? What is the range? When time equals 0, why is the height of the cannon ball not equal to 0? Describe the domain of this function. Describe the range. ; Why does the range of this function include negative values? What is the significance of the point where the graph crosses the horizontal axis? OBJECTIVE 1-0; To describe how real-world functional relationships can be represented by graphs, using concepts such as slope, domain, range, and initial conditions. © 1989 Creative Publications 177SKETCHING FUNCTIONS II Study each function below and then answer the questions at the bottom of the page. A. The cost per month of owning a car is B. The temperature in an oven set at a function of the number of miles driven. 350°F is a function of the time since it was turned on. 350| Cost Temperature (°F) + Miles 0 Time ee C. The time it takes to ride a bicycle 100 D. The cost of postage for a first-class miles is a function of the average speed. letter is a function of its weight in ounces. 20: = * = % E & F 40 0 10 20 Speed (mph) Weight (oz) PT i a SS GRAPH A: When the number of miles driven equals 0, why is the cost per month not equal to 0? Why does the graph have a positive slope? GRAPH B: When time equals 0, why is the temperature in the oven not equal to 0? Why does the temperature eventually oscillate around 350°F? GRAPH C: How long does it take to ride a bicycle 100 miles at each of the following speeds: 5 mph, 10 mph, 15 mph, 20 mph, 25 mph? What is always true about the product speed x time? GRAPH D: Why does the graph look like a series of steps rather than a smooth curve? Why is a hollow circle needed at the beginning of each step (except the first)? OBJECTIVE 1~c: To describe how real-world functional relationships 178 ©1989 Creative Publications ‘an be represented by graphs, using concepts such as slope, domain, range, and initial conditions.SKETCHING FUNCTIONS III Make a sketch for each function described below. Use your knowledge of the relationships described Ata fixed price per ounce, the cost of buying gold is a function of the number of ounces you buy. Cost Number of ounces The total cost of operating a lemonade stand is a function of the amount of lemonade sold. Cost ‘Amount sold The amount of water in a pan ona bumer that is turned on “high” is a function of the time since the burner was turned on. Amount Time OBJECTIVE 1-d: To sketch the graph of a function Using knowledge of real-world relationships. The height of your head above the ground as you ride a Ferris wheel is a function of the time since you got on. Time The profit from operating a lemonade stand is a function of the amount of lemonade sold. Amount sold The height of a ball that is dropped from a height of 10 feet is a function of the time since it was dropped. 3 Height (ft) Time © 1989 Creative Publications 179What Did the Indian Say to the Guy » With a Bucket Over His Head?
