For any relation, the set of values of the independent variable (often
the x-values) is called the domain of the rolation. The set of the
corresponding values of the dependent variable (often the y-values) is
called the range of the relation. For a function, for each given element of
the domain there must be exactly one element in the range,

Cs ‘A function machine generates ordered pairs by performing mathematical
* graphing calculator operations on an input value. For each input value from the domain that
enters a particular function machine, a unique output value in the range
emerges. The output is determined by the rule of the defining function.
If some values for x and their associated y-values are known, it is often
possible to determine what function was used by the machine.
Suppose you are told that a linear function machine has two steps. The
first step involves a multiplication or a division, and the second step
involves an addition or a subtraction, You are told that when the input
value is x = 5, the output value is y = —9. As well, when the input value
is x = 1, the output value is y = 3.

Rachel and Ken are knitting scarves to sell at the craft show. The wool
for each scarf costs $6. They were planning to sell the scarves for $10
each, the same as last year when they sold 40 scarves. However, they
know that if they raise the price, they will be able to make more profit,
even if they end up selling fewer scarves. They have been told that for
every 50¢ increase in the price, they can expect to soll four fewer 6
What selling price will maximize their profit and what will the profit be?
Solution
Let x represent the number of 50¢ price changes.
Since each scarf cost $6 and was sold for $10, the profit was $4 per scarf.
‘As they raise the price, their profit per scarf will bo (4 + 0.5x) for x
changes to the price. They will sell 40 — 4x scarves when they make the
price change.
Profit = profit per scarf x number sold

Substitute Q(x) = 0 to find the x-intercepts.

‘The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = 1 (the average of 0 and 2).
P(t) = -2(1)? + 4(1) + 160

The vertex of this function is at (1, 162). This means that they will make

price is 10 + 0.5(1) or $10.50.

34 MHR + Functions 11 + Chapter 1‘The number or expression under the radical sign is called the radicand.
If the radicand is greater than or equal to zero and is not a perfect square,
then the radical is an irrational number, An approximate value can be
found using a calculator. In many situations, it is better to work with the
exact value, so the radical form is kept. Uso the radical form when an
approximate answer is not good enough and an exact answer is needed.
Somotimes entire radicals can be simplified by removing perfect square
factors. The resulting exprossion is called a mixed radical.

1.4 Skills You Need: Working With Radicals * MHR 35‘Adding and subtracting radicals works in the same way as adding and
subtracting polynomials. You can only add like terms or, in this case,
like radicals. For example, the terms in the expression 2V’3 + 5V7 do
not have the same radical, so they cannot be added, but the terms in the
expression 3V'5 + 6V/5 have a common radical, so they can be added:
aVs + eV5 = aVi.

© An entire radical can be simplified to a mixed radical in simplest form by removing the
largest porfect square from under the radical to form a mixed radical,
For example, V50 = V25 X 2
=5V2
© Like radicals can be combined through addition and subtraction. For example,
3V7 + 2V7 =5V7.
© Radicals can be multiplied using the distributive property.
For example, 4V2(5V3 ~ 3) = 20V6 ~ 12/2 and
