Title: FUNCTIONS

Name: Christine Nicole C. Famero

Course: Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering 1-1

Subject: Calculus I

Submitted To: Engr. Oscar L. Poloyapoy

1.) What is a function?
 a special relationship where each input has a single output
 it is often written as "f(x)" where x is the input value
 relates each element of a set with exactly one element of another set (possibly the same
set)
 a many-to-one (or sometimes one-to-one) relation

2.) Define the following: Domain, Range

Domain
 the domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined
 all the values that go into a function
Range
 the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes
 all the values that come out of a function

3.) Give atleast 3 examples of a single-valued function.

* A single-valued function is function that, for each point in the domain, has a unique value in the
range.
a.) f(x) = x^2
b.) f(x) = x^3+1
c.) f(x) = x-2

4.) Give an example of machine-diagram for a function.

INPUT OUTPUT
4 X+3 7
5.) Give the 4 possible ways to represent a function.
a.) verbally – description in words
b.) numerically – table of values
 c.) visually – graph
d.) algebraically – explicit formula
6.) Problems:
a.) A rectangular storage container with an open top has a volume of 10m^3. The length
of each base is twice its width. Material for the base costs P1000 per square meter. Material for
the sides cost P600 per square meter. Express the cost of the materials as a function of the width
of the base.

b.) Express the equation x=y^2-2 as a graph of the function.

c.) Express the height of cylindrical can as a function of the diameter if 18π in. ^2 of shift
metal is used. What kind of curve is this?
