4.1.3 Writing Function Rules − Practice

1.  Determine a relationship between the x - and y -values. Write an equation. x 1 2 3 4 y − 4 − 3 − 2 − 1

2.  Determine a relationship between the x - and y -values. Write an equation. x 1 2 3 4 y 2 4 6 8

4.  For f ( x ) = − 4 x + 2, find f ( x ) when x = − 1.

3.  Find the missing value in the table. x

6.  Identify the dependent and independent variables in the situation. You can get a higher score on your math test when you spend more time studying. 8.  Brian has 64 flowers for a big party decoration. In addition, he is considering buying flower arrangements that have 18 flowers each. All of the arrangements cost the same. Brian can buy up to 5 arrangements given the amount of money he has. Let x represents the number of flower arrangements Brian buys. Write a function rule to describe how many flowers Brian will have based on the number of arrangements he buys. Find a reasonable range for the function.

5.  Find f (50).

7.  Identify the independent and dependent variables. Then, write a rule in function notation for the situation, letting x represent the independent variable. A hair stylist’s fee is $20 for each haircut.

9.  Shari is participating in a charity run. Donors have pledged $300 plus $10 per mile. She can choose to run for 5, 10, or 15 miles. Write a function rule to describe this situation and give the domain and range of the function.
