Working  with  functions  and  equations   1  

 Copyright  ©  2016  Charles  A.  Dana  Center  at  the  University  of  Texas  at  Austin,  Learning  Sciences  Research  Institute  at  the  University  of  Illinois  at  Chicago,  Agile  Mind,  Inc.  

WORKING WITH FUNCTIONS AND EQUATIONS Lesson 1: An introduction to functions

LESSON 1: OPENER

Casey  and  Stacey  are  playing  a  math  game  called  “Guess  my  rule.”    

Table  1      

Input   Output  2   5  5   26  7   50  10   101  

 

Casey  creates  this  table  and  shows  it  to  Stacey.  Stacey’s  job  is  to  find  an  algebraic  rule  that  works  for  all  of  the  input-­‐output  pairs.  

    “I  found  a  rule  that  works  for  the  table,”  says  Stacey.      

 

1. What  rule  do  you  think  she  found?    Write  a  rule  that  works  for  this  table.  

 

Table  2    

 

Input   Output  -­‐2   4  4   10  -­‐2   -­‐8  10   4  

 

Now  it  is  Stacey’s  turn  to  create  a  table  and  Casey  will  find  an  algebraic  rule.  Stacey  creates  the  table  shown.  

“Wait  a  second,”  says  Casey.  “This  is  an  illegal  table.  It’s  impossible  to  find  a  rule  for  this  table.”  

 

2. Why  does  Casey  say  there  is  no  rule  for  this  table?  

Table  3    

 

Input   Output  -­‐3   9  -­‐1   1  0   0  

  1   1  3   9  

 

Stacey  creates  the  table  shown.  At  first,  Casey  thinks  this  is  another  “illegal  table.”  Then  Casey  realizes  that  there  is  a  rule  that  allows  each  output  to  be  predicted  from  the  input.      

3. What  rule  do  you  think  she  found?  Write  a  rule  that  works  for  this  table.

LESSON 1: CORE ACTIVITY    

   

1. Which  vending  machine  represents  a  function?  Why?    

2. Which  vending  machine  does  not  represent  a  function?  Why?  

   3. Examples  of  functions  are  listed  here.  Work  with  your  partner.  Take  turns  explaining  why  each  example  is  a  function,  and  

write  your  answers  in  the  table.    

Example   Why  this  is  an  example  of  a  function  

If  you  save  the  same  amount  each  week,  the  amount  of  money  in  your  bank  account  depends  on  (is  a  function  of)  the  number  of  weeks  you  have  been  saving.  

The  amount  of  time  it  takes  to  run  a  certain  distance  depends  on  (is  a  function  of)  the  speed  at  which  you  run  when  you  run  at  a  steady  speed.  

If  you  are  paid  $7.00  an  hour,  the  amount  of  money  you  earn  at  a  summer  job  depends  on  (is  a  function  of)  the  number  of  hours  you  work.

Notes  or  additional  instructions  based  on  whole-­‐class  discussion  of  homework  assignment:    

 

 

 

1. A  stamp  machine  at  the  post  office  works  very  much  like  a  vending  machine:  You  press  a  button  to  select  the  type  of  stamp  

you  want  to  buy.  The  diagrams  below  show  the  buttons  and  types  of  stamp  for  one  machine.  All  of  the  stamps  cost  the  same  amount  of  money.  

a. Draw  arrows  from  the  buttons  to  the  stamps  in  the  diagram  below  to  show  a  relationship  that  is  a  function.    

 b. Draw  arrows  from  the  buttons  to  the  stamps  in  a  different  way  than  you  did  in  part  a  to  show  a  relationship  that  is  a  

function.  

c. Draw  arrows  from  the  buttons  to  the  stamps  in  a  different  way  than  you  did  in  both  part  a  and  part  b  to  show  a  relationship  that  is  a  function.  

2. Create  an  example  of  a  relationship  that  is  a  function.  (Your  example  cannot  be  one  of  the  examples  discussed  today  in  class.)  Explain  why  your  example  is  a  function.

3. Create  an  example  of  a  relationship  that  is  not  a  function.  (Your  example  cannot  be  one  of  the  examples  discussed  today  in  class.)  Explain  why  your  example  is  not  a  function.  

           

4. Miriam  is  an  aspiring  meteorologist.  She  makes  a  table  in  which  she  numbers  each  day  of  the  current  calendar  year—from    1  to  365—in  the  input  column.  She  records  the  corresponding  high  temperature  in  her  town  for  each  of  these  days.  

a. Does  Miriam’s  table  represent  a  function?  Answer  “Yes,”  “No,”  or  “Maybe,”  and  explain  your  answer.  

         

b. Miriam  wonders  whether  the  table  would  be  a  function  if  she  reversed  the  input  and  output  columns.  If  the  input  column  contained  the  daily  high  temperature  and  the  output  column  contained  the  day  of  the  year  (from  1  to  365),  would  the  relationship  be  a  function?  Answer  “Yes,”  “No,”  or  “Maybe,”  and  explain  your  answer.

Lesson 2: Mathematical functions

LESSON 2: OPENER  

1. A  television  remote  control  can  be  thought  of  as  a  “function  machine.”    Fill  in  the  blanks  to  complete  the  following  statement.  

For  this  situation,  the  input  is  ________________________    

and  the  output  is  ___________________________.  

2. Think  of  your  own  example  of  a  “real-­‐world”  function  machine.  Describe    your  example,  including  a  description  of  the  input  and  output.  

 

LESSON 2: CORE ACTIVITY  

In  this  activity,  you  will  use  input-­‐output  machines  to  develop  your  understanding  of  the  definition  of  a  function.  Then  you  will  use  what  you've  learned  about  functions  to  answer  some  questions.    

1. Complete  the  questions  below  for  these  input-­‐output  tables.  

a. Fill  in  the  remaining  output  values  for  each  x-­‐y  table.  

 x   y    -­‐2     -­‐4    3   6  5   10  10   20   30.5  

       

b. Graph  the  coordinate  pairs  from  each  x-­‐y  table  in  part  a.  Write  “function”  on  the  graph  that  represents  a  functional  relationship.

2. If  you  were  to  make  a  graph  to  show  the  relationship  between  arm  span  and  height,  which  variable  would  you  plot  on  the  x-­‐axis  and  which  variable  would  you  plot  on  the  y-­‐axis?  Why?    

 

LESSON 3: CORE ACTIVITY

Fill  in  the  blanks  to  complete  the  statements  in  questions  1-­‐3.  

1. The  type  of  drink  you  purchase  depends  on  the  button  you  push,  so  you  would  say  that  the  buttons  (A,  B,  C,  D,  E,  and  F)  are  

possible  values  of  the  _____________________________________.      A(n)  _____________________________________in  a  

function  rule  determines  what  happens  to  another  variable  in  the  rule.  

2. The  different  types  of  drinks  (orange  juice,  apple  juice,  skim  milk,  chocolate  milk,  and  water)  form  the  set  of  possible  values  

of  the  _____________________________________.    A(n)  _____________________________________in  a  function  rule  

changes  its  value  when  a  value  of  the  independent  variable  is  changed.    

3. A  pot  of  water  is  placed  on  a  stove  to  heat.  The  water  begins  with  a  temperature  of  70°  F.  As  the  water  heats,  the  temperature  of  the  water  rises  20°  F  every  30  seconds.    

a. What  are  the  variables  in  this  situation?          

b. Which  variable  is  the  dependent  variable?    Which  is  the  independent  variable?  Provide  a  convincing  explanation.      

   

c. Create  an  input-­‐output  table  and  a  graph  for  this  situation.    Add  data  to  the  table  that  make  sense  for  this  situation.

The  Flower  Bed  problem  

Anthony  Chen's  family  operates  a  full-­‐service  pool  and  landscaping  business.  Sometimes  their  clients  want  low  decorative  fences  around  their  flower  beds.    

Anthony's  father  wants  a  quick  way  to  estimate  the  amount  of  fencing  needed.  Mr.  Chen  asked  Anthony  to  help  him.  Anthony  realizes  that  this  is  just  a  perimeter  question.    

He  starts  his  task  by  analyzing  the  relationship  between  the  length  of  the  side  of  a  square  flower  bed  and  the  perimeter  of  the  flower  bed.  This  will  tell  him  the  amount  of  fence  needed  to  enclose  the  flower  bed.  Anthony  realizes  that  lengths  of  sides  of  flower  beds  are  not  always  whole  numbers,  but  he  decides  to  use  square  tiles  to  build  models  of  flower  beds  of  various  sizes  to  help  him  find  a  pattern.  In  his  models,  1  tile  represents  1  square  foot.    

1. Draw  the  next  two  models  in  Anthony's  concrete  representation  next  to  the  models  shown.    

   

 

2. Make  a  table  representing  the  relationship  between  the  length  of  the  side  of  a  square  flower  bed  and  the  perimeter  of  the  flower  bed.  Explain  how  the  pattern  in  your  tabular  representation  relates  to  the  concrete  models.

5. Create  a  single  table  comparing  the  Roses-­‐R-­‐Red  and  Flower  Power  data.  Be  sure  to  use  a  range  of  values  so  that  you  can  compare  the  costs  for  ordering  small  and  large  numbers  of  roses.    

Number  ordered   Roses-­‐R-­‐Red  cost  ($)   Flower  Power  cost  ($)  

 

 

Now  use  your  table  to  create  a  graph  that  shows  the  costs  for  each  company.  Plot  both  sets  of  points  and  draw  a  line  through  each  set  of  plotted  points  on  your  graph.  Be  sure  to  label  the  lines  for  each  company.  

 

6. At  this  point,  you  have  enough  information  to  choose  between  the  flower  shops.  Which  flower  company  should  the  soccer  team  use?  Why?
