Function Notation and Domain and Range

How would you write y = 2x - 3 in function notation?

• y = 2x-3

• f = 2x - 3

• f(x) = 2x-3

If f(x) = 2x + 1, what would be your first step to find f(1)?

• Plug a 1 in for all the x's

• Set the function equal to 1

• Only plug a 1 into the left side

• Only plug a 1 into the right side

The function h(t) represents the height in inches of a plant after t weeks. What does the notation h(4) = 5 mean?

• After 5 week the plant is 4 inches tall

• The plant grows at a rate of 5/4 inch per week

• After 4 weeks the plant is 5 inches tall

• The plant grows at a rate of 1 inch per week

What is the RANGE of this graph?

• -7 < x < 5

• -7 ≤ y < 5

• -3 < x < 1

• -3 ≤ y < 1

A student borrowed $480 from a friend. He agreed to make monthly payments of $96 with no interest until the loan balance was paid off. The function shown models this situation, where f(x) represents the remaining loan balance in dollars after the student has made x monthly payments. Which statements are true about the domain and range of the function for this situation? Select the correct answers.

• D: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

• R: {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• D: all real numbers

• R: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

• : {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• D: {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• R: all real numbers
