What we are about to learn…

identify functions from relations

evaluates a function

represents real-life situations

using functions, including piece-
wise functions
 Review: Operations on Functions

1. 3 + 4 = 7
2. 5 + -8 = -3
3. -4 + -7 = -11
4. -2 + 8 = 6

 Review: Operations on Functions

1. 5 - 2 = 3
2. 6 - 8 = -2
3. -4 - 3 = -7
4. 7 - -5 = 12

 Review: Operations on Functions

1. (5) (4) = 20
2. (3) (-6) = -18
3. (-7) (4) = -28
4. (-5) (-3) = 15
6
 Review: Operations on Functions

1. 20 ÷ 4 = 5
2. 15 ÷ -3 =-5
3. -8 ÷ -2 = 4
4. -30 ÷ 6 = -5

Functions
 Functions relate an input to an
output

Functions in real life:

Output: Score in the test
Input: No. of hours studied

Functions in real life:

 Give another real-life situations

involving functions
