Collaborative Activity: What Are Constraints? A constraint is something that limits what is possible or reasonable in a situation. For example, one constraint in a pizza party might be the number of slices of pizza each person could have, 𝑠. We can write 𝑠 < 4 to say that each person gets fewer than 4 slices. 1. Look at the expressions you wrote when planning the pizza party earlier. a. Choose an expression that uses one or more letters.

b. For each letter, determine what values would be reasonable. (For instance, could the value be a non-whole number? A number greater than 50? A negative number? Exactly 2?)

2. Write equations or inequalities that represent some constraints in your pizza party plan. If a quantity must be an exact value, use the = symbol. If it must be greater or less than a certain value to be reasonable, use the < or > symbol.

Lesson Summary Expressions, equations, and inequalities are mathematical models. A model is a mathematical or statistical representation of a problem from science, technology, engineering, work, or everyday life, used to solve problems and make decisions. Often, models have constraints. A constraint is a limitation on the possible values of variables in a model, often expressed by an equation or inequality or by specifying that the value must be an integer. For example, some possible quantities and corresponding constraints for planning a birthday party are listed. Quantities • The number of guests

Constraints • 20 people maximum

• The cost of food and drinks • $5.50 per person • The cost of birthday cake

• The cost of entertainment • The total cost

• $40 for a large cake

• $15 for music and $27 for games • No more than $180 total cost

In algebra, variables can be used to represent these quantities. For example, while 42 can represent the total cost of entertainment, in dollars, the variable n can represent the number of people, and the variable C can represent the total cost of the party. Expressions can also be written using these numbers and variables. For instance, the expression 5.50𝑛 is a concise way to express the overall cost of food if it costs $5.50 per guest and there are 𝑛 guests.

Sometimes, a constraint is an exact value. For instance, the cost of music is $15. Other times, a constraint is a boundary or a limit. For instance, the total cost must be

Book 1.indb 6

19/07/24 5:07 AM

no more than $180. Symbols such as <, >, ≤, ≥, and = can be used to express the same constraints from earlier. Equations can be used to show the relationships between different quantities and constraints. For example, the total cost of the party is the sum of the costs of food, cake, and entertainment. Two equations that can be used to represent this relationship are shown.

Quantities • The number of guests • The cost of food and drinks • The cost of birthday cake • The cost of entertainment • The total cost

Constraints • 𝑛 ≤ 20 • 5.50𝑛 • 40

• 15 + 27

• 𝐶 ≤ 180

𝐶 = 5.50𝑛 + 40 + 15 + 27 or 𝐶 = 5.50𝑛 + 82

Deciding how to use numbers and variables to represent quantities, relationships, and constraints is an important part of mathematical modeling. A model such as 𝐶 = 5.50𝑛 + 82 can be an efficient way to make estimates or predictions. When a quantity or a constraint changes, or when an unknown value needs to be determined, the model can be adjusted to make a new calculation instead of repeating a series of calculations.

Lesson Summary Sometimes, the relationship between 2 quantities is easy to see. For instance, the perimeter of a square is always 4 times the side length of the square. If 𝑃 represents the perimeter and 𝑠 represents the side length, then the relationship between the 2 measurements (in the same unit) can be expressed as 𝑃 = 4𝑠, or 𝑠 = 𝑃 . 4

Other times, the relationship between quantities might take a bit of work to figure out, by doing calculations several times or by looking for a pattern. Consider 2 examples. 1. A plane departed from New Orleans and is heading to San Diego. The table shows its distance from New Orleans, 𝑥, in miles (mi.), and its distance from San Diego, 𝑦, in mi., at some points along the way.

Distance from New Orleans (mi.)

Distance from San Diego (mi.)

100

1,500

500

1,100

What is the relationship between the 2 distances? Is there a pattern in how each quantity is changing? Can the missing values be determined? • Notice that every time the distance from New Orleans increases by some number of mi., the distance from San Diego decreases by the same number of mi., and that the sum of the 2 values is always 1,600 mi.

300 _____ 900

1,450 𝑥

1,300 1,020 700

_____ 𝑦

This relationship can be expressed with any of the 3 equations shown. 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1,600

𝑦 = 1,600 − 𝑥

2. A company decides to donate $50,000 to charity. The company will select up to 20 charitable organizations nominated by its employees. Each organization selected will receive an equal donation. What is the relationship between the number of selected organizations, 𝑛, and the dollar amount each of them will receive, 𝑑?

• If 5 organizations are selected, each one receives $10,000. If 10 organizations are selected, each one receives $5,000. If 20 organizations are selected, each one receives $2,500.

• Notice the pattern here. 10,000 is 50,000 , 5,000 is 50,000 , and 2,500 is 50,000 . 5

From the pattern, it can be generalized that the amount each organization receives, 𝑑, is 50,000 divided by the number of organizations selected, 𝑛, so 𝑑 =

50,000 . 𝑛

Lesson Summary An equation that contains 2 unknown quantities, or 2 quantities that vary, is called an equation in 2 variables. A solution to such an equation is a pair of numbers that makes the equation true. Suppose Tyler spends $45 on T-shirts and socks. Each T-shirt costs $10, and each pair of socks costs $2.50. If 𝑡 represents the number of T-shirts and 𝑝 represents the number of pairs of socks that Tyler buys, then the equation 10𝑡 + 2.50𝑝 = 45 represents the situation. This is an equation in 2 variables. More than one pair of values for 𝑡 and 𝑝 makes the equation true. Three examples are shown. 𝑡 = 3 and 𝑝 = 6 10(3) + 2.50(6) = 45 30 + 15 = 45 45 = 45

𝑡 = 4 and 𝑝 = 2 10(4) + 2.50(2) = 45 40 + 5 = 45 45 = 45

Book 1.indb 25

𝑡 = 2 and 𝑝 = 10 10(2) + 2.50(10) = 45 20 + 25 = 45 45 = 45

Unit 1 | 25

19/07/24 5:07 AM

• In this situation, one constraint is that the combined cost of shirts and socks must equal $45. Solutions to the equation are pairs of 𝑡- and 𝑝-values that satisfy this constraint. • Combinations such as 𝑡 = 1 and 𝑝 = 10, or 𝑡 = 2 and 𝑝 = 7, are not solutions because they don’t meet the constraint. When these pairs of values are substituted into the equation, they result in statements that are false. Like an equation, a graph can also give information about the relationship between quantities and the constraints on them. Suppose beans and rice are being purchased to feed a large group of people, and $120 total will be spent on the 2 ingredients. Beans cost $2 per lb., and rice costs $0.50 per lb. If 𝑥 represents lb. of beans, and 𝑦 represents lb. of rice, the equation 2𝑥 + 0.50𝑦 = 120 can represent the constraints in this situation. The graph of 2𝑥 + 0.50𝑦 = 120 shows a straight line. • Each point on the line is a pair of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values that makes the equation true and is therefore a solution. Each is also a pair of values that satisfies the constraints in the situation. • The point (10,200) is on the line. If 10 lb. of beans and 200 lb. of rice are purchased, the cost will be 2(10) + 0.50(200), which equals $120.

• The points (60, 0) and (45, 60) are also on the line. If only beans are purchased, a total of 60 lb. of them, and no rice, the total cost is $120. If 45 lb. of beans and 60 lb. of rice are purchased, the total cost is also $120. Points that are not on the line are not solutions because they don’t satisfy the constraints, but they still have meaning in the situation. • The point (20, 80) is not on the line. Buying 20 lb. of beans and 80 lb. of rice costs 2(20) + 0.50(80) or $80, which does not equal $120. This combination costs less than the amount that was planned for spending. • The point (70, 180) represents buying 70 lb. of beans and 180 lb. of rice. It will cost 2(70) + 0.50(180) or $230, which is over the budget of $120.

4. Which of the six equations are equivalent to the original equation? Be prepared to explain how you know.

Lesson Summary Suppose 2 packs of markers and a $0.50 glue stick totaled $6.10. If 𝑝 is the dollar cost of 1 pack of markers, the equation 2𝑝 +0.50 = 6.10. represents this purchase. The solution to this equation is 2.80. A friend bought 6 of the same packs of markers and 3 glue sticks and paid $18.30. The equation 6𝑝 + 1.50 = 18.30 represents this purchase. The solution to this equation is also 2.80. The equations 2𝑝 + 0.50 = 6.10 and 6𝑝 + 1.50 = 18.30 are equivalent equations.

Equations that have the exact same solutions are equivalent equations.

Besides 2.80, no other values of 𝑝 make either equation true. Only the price of $2.80 per pack of markers satisfies the constraint in each purchase.

36 | Unit 1

Book 1.indb 36

19/07/24 5:07 AM

As explored in previous courses, there are certain moves that can be made to write equivalent equations. In this example, the second equation, 6𝑝+1.50 = 18.30, is a result of multiplying both sides of the first equation by 3. Buying 3 times as many markers and glue sticks means paying 3 times as much money. The unit price of the markers hasn’t changed. Some other equations that are equivalent to 2𝑝 + 0.50 = 6.10 are shown, along with the moves that led to these equations. 2𝑝 + 4 = 9.60 Add 3.50 to each side of the original equation.

2𝑝 = 5.60 Subtract 0.50 from each side of the original equation. 1 (2𝑝 + 0.50) = 3.05 2

2(𝑝 + 0.25) = 6.10

Multiply each side of the original equation by 1 . 2

Apply the distributive property to rewrite the left side.

In each case, the move is acceptable because it doesn’t change the equality of the 2 sides of the equation. If 2𝑝 + 0.50 has the same value as 6.10, then multiplying 2𝑝 + 0.50 by 1 and multiplying 6.10 by 1 keeps the 2 sides equal. 2

These moves (applying the distributive property, adding the same amount to both sides, dividing each side by the same number, and so on) might be familiar because they use properties of equality that are applied when solving equations, which were explored in prior courses. Solving an equation essentially involves writing a series of equivalent equations that eventually isolate the variable to 1 side. The same properties can be applied to generate equivalent equations.

Lesson Summary When solving an equation, the result is sometimes a false equation instead of a solution. Two attempts to solve the equation 4(𝑥 + 1) = 4𝑥 are shown.

4(𝑥 + 1) = 4𝑥 Original equation 4(𝑥 + 1) = 4𝑥 Original equation 𝑥 + 1 = 𝑥 Divide each side by 4. 4𝑥 + 4 = 4𝑥 Apply the distributive property. 1=0 Subtract 𝑥 from each side. 4=0 Subtract 4𝑥 from each side.

Each attempt shows acceptable moves, but the final equation is a false statement. • When solving an equation, start by assuming that there is at least 1 value that makes the equation true. The equation 4(𝑥 + 1) = 4𝑥 can be interpreted as “4 groups of (𝑥 + 1) are equal to 4 groups of 𝑥.” There are no values of 𝑥 that can make this true.

• For instance, if 𝑥 = 10, then 𝑥 + 1 = 11. It’s not possible that 4 times 11 is equal to 4 times 10. Likewise, 1.5 is 1 more than 0.5, but 4 groups of 1.5 cannot be equal to 4 groups of 0.5. Because of this, the moves made to solve the equation would not lead to a solution. The equation 4(𝑥 + 1) = 4 has no solutions.

An attempt to solve the equation 2𝑥 − 5 =

𝑥 − 20 is shown. 4

Each step in the process seems acceptable, but the last equation is a false statement. It is not easy to tell from the original equation whether it has a solution, but when looking at the equivalent equation 8𝑥 = 𝑥, it’s more apparent that 0 could be a solution. When 𝑥 is 0, the final equation becomes 0 = 0, which is a true statement.

Add 20 to each side.

Divide each side by 𝑥.

19/07/24 5:07 AM

The last move in the solving process was dividing by 𝑥. Because 0 could be the value of 𝑥 and dividing by 0 gives an undefined number, dividing by the variable is not recommended when solving an equation. Instead, either solution method shown could be used to solve the equation 8𝑥 = 𝑥. 8𝑥 = 𝑥 7𝑥 = 0 𝑥=0

Subtract 𝑥 from each side. Divide each side by 7.

8𝑥 = 𝑥 0 = −7𝑥 0=𝑥

Lesson Summary When solving equations, the goal is to isolate the variable to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true. Apply properties of operations and properties of equality to justify the moves, or steps, used to solve a multistep equation by writing a series of equivalent equations until the variable is isolated. • If the resulting equation is a variable equal to a known value, the value on the opposite side from the variable is the solution. • If the resulting equation is false, there is no solution to the equation. • If the resulting equation is 2 known values set equal to each other, there are infinitely many solutions that make the original equation true. If a solution is found, verify it by substituting the value for the variable in the original equation. Apply the order of operations to evaluate the equation and ensure the result is a true equation. With multistep linear equations, it may be helpful to apply the distributive property or combine like terms on one side of the equation first, before applying properties of equality.

Lesson Summary A relationship between quantities can be described in more than one way. Some ways are more helpful than others, depending on what needs to be determined. Consider the angles of an isosceles triangle, for example. • The 2 angles near the horizontal side have equal measures in degrees, 𝑎. • T he sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so the relationship between the angles can be expressed as 𝑎 + 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 180.

Suppose the value of 𝑏 is known and 𝑎 needs to be determined. The equation can be rearranged using properties of operations and properties of equality, as needed, to isolate 𝑎, as shown.

𝑎 + 𝑎 + 𝑏 2𝑎 + 𝑏 2𝑎

= = =

𝑎 + 𝑎 + 𝑏 2𝑎 + 𝑏 𝑏

= = =

𝑎

180 180 180−𝑏

180−𝑏 2

180 180 180−2𝑎

This equation is equivalent to the first one. Now, to find 𝑎, substitute any value of 𝑏 into this equation, and evaluate the expression on the right side. Likewise, an equivalent equation can be written to make it easier to find 𝑏 when 𝑎 is known, as shown.

Rearranging an equation to isolate 1 variable is called solving for a variable. Solving for a variable before substituting any known values can make it easier to test different values of a variable to see how they affect the other variable. In this example, the equation was solved for 𝑎 and for 𝑏. All 3 equations are equivalent. What information is known and what information needs to be determined should guide which equation is used when solving problems.

Lesson Summary Just as rearranging an equation sometimes makes it easier to solve for a variable of interest, the same skill can be applied to rearrange formulas used in math, science, and other disciplines in order to solve for a variable of interest. Solving for a variable of interest in a multivariable equation (or formula) requires the same application of properties of operations and properties of equality as when solving a one-variable equation. For example, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤, where 𝑙 is the length of the rectangle and 𝑤 is the width. Steps to rearrange the formula to isolate 𝑙 are shown and described in the table. Equivalent Equation

Explanation of Steps

𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤

Given formula

𝑃 − 2𝑤 = 2𝑙 𝑃−2𝑤 = 𝑙 2

𝑃 − 𝑤 = 𝑙 2

Subtracted 2𝑤 from both sides of the equation Divided both sides of the equation by 2 Distributed division by 2 to both terms on the left side

𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤 and 𝑙 = 𝑃 −𝑤 are equivalent equations that both express the relationship 2

Lesson Summary Previous courses introduced the slope-intercept form for the equation of a line. The slope-intercept form of a line is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, where 𝑚 represents the slope of the line and 𝑏 represents the 𝑦-intercept. The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in the vertical direction to change in the horizontal direction, often expressed as △𝑦 change in 𝑦 , or . △� change in � The 𝒚-intercept is the value of 𝑦 at the point where a line or graph intersects the 𝑦-axis. The value of � is 0 at this point. In this lesson, 2 additional forms of linear equations were introduced. • The point-slope form of the equation of a line is (𝑦 − 𝑦1) = 𝑚(𝑥 − 𝑥1), where 𝑚 is the slope and (𝑥1,𝑦1) is any point on the line.

• The standard form of the equation of a line is 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 = 𝐶, where 𝐴 and 𝐵 cannot both be zero.

By using key features revealed in the form of the linear equation given, along with properties of operations and properties of equality, linear equations can be rewritten in other equivalent forms.

Lesson Summary Linear equations can be written in different forms. Some forms more readily provide key information about the relationship between quantities or about the graph of the equation. Suppose an athlete wants to burn 700 calories (cal.) a day by running and swimming. He burns 17.5 cal. per minute (min.) of running and 12.5 cal. per min. of freestyle swimming. Let 𝑥 represent the number of min. of running, and let 𝑦 represent the number of min. of swimming. To represent the combination of running and swimming that would allow him to burn 700 calories, an equation in standard form, 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 = 𝐶, can be written. 17.5𝑥 + 12.5𝑦 = 700

The more min. he runs, the fewer min. he has to swim to meet his goal. In other words, as 𝑥 increases, 𝑦 decreases. The graph of the equation will slope down from left to right. • If the athlete only runs and doesn’t swim, how many min. will he need to run for? Substitute 0 for 𝑦 to find 𝑥, as shown. On a graph, this combination of times is the point (40, 0), which is the 𝑥-intercept. • If he only swims and doesn’t run, how many min. will he need to swim for? Substitute 0 for 𝑥 to find 𝑦, as shown.

On a graph, this combination of times is the point (0, 56), which is the 𝑦-intercept.

• If the athlete wants to know how many min. he will need to swim for if he runs for 15 min., he can substitute each of these values for 𝑥 in the equation and find 𝑦, or he can first solve the equation for 𝑦, as shown.

700

12.5𝑦

𝑦

700 − 17.5𝑥

17.5𝑥 + 12.5𝑦

Notice that 𝑦 = 56−1.4𝑥, or 𝑦 = −1.4𝑥 + 56, is written in slope-intercept form, 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.

𝑦

700 − 17.5𝑥 12.5

56 − 1.4𝑥

The coefficient of 𝑥, −1.4, is the slope of the graph. It means that as 𝑥 increases by 1, 𝑦 decreases by 1.4. For every additional min. of running, the athlete can swim for 1.4 fewer min. The constant term, 56, shows where the graph intersects the 𝑦-axis. This is the number of min. that the athlete will need to swim if he doesn’t do any running. When solved for 𝑦, both equations reveal that if he runs for 15 min., he needs to swim for 35 min. to burn 700 cal. This means that the point (15, 35) is another combination (or solution) that satisfies the goal of burning a total of 700 cal. This point can be used to write an equation in point-slope form, 𝑦−𝑦1 = 𝑚(𝑥−𝑥1), as shown. 𝑦 − 35 = −1.4 (𝑥−15)

The 3 equations, 17.5𝑥 + 12.5𝑦 = 700, 𝑦 = −1.4𝑥 + 56, and 𝑦 − 35 = −1.4(𝑥−15), are equivalent, so they have the same solutions and are represented by the same graph, shown.

Situation 2: A school club is raising money by selling popcorn and iced tea. The club is charging $3 per bag of popcorn and $1.50 per cup of iced tea, and they plan to make $60.

Let 𝑝 be the bags of popcorn sold, and let 𝑡 be the cups of iced tea sold. 3𝑝 + 1.50𝑡 = 60

Unit 1 | 103

19/07/24 5:07 AM

The graphs of the equations and some coordinates are shown.

The first equation is essentially in slope-intercept, with the order of the terms on the right side swapped. Instead of 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏, the equation is given in the form 𝑦 = 𝑏 + 𝑚𝑥. The slope and the 𝑦-intercept can be observed from the equation and the graph. • The graph intersects the vertical axis at 40, and −2.50 is the slope of the line.

• Every time 𝑛 increases by 1, 𝑑 decreases by 2.50. In other words, with each passing school day, the dollar amount on Mai’s bus pass drops by $2.50. The numbers in the second equation are not as apparent on the graph. The values where the line intersects the vertical and horizontal axes, 40 and 20, do not appear in the equation. Reasoning can be used to determine where they come from.

• If 𝑝 is 0 (no popcorn is sold), the club would need to sell 40 cups of iced tea to make $60 because 40(1.50) = 60.

• If 𝑡 is 0 (no iced tea is sold), the club would need to sell 20 bags of popcorn to make $60 because 20(3) = 60. What about the slope of the second graph? It can be computed from the graph, but it is not shown in the equation 3𝑝 + 1.50𝑡 = 60. Notice that in the first equation, the variable 𝑑 was isolated. The second equation can be rewritten to isolate 𝑡, as shown. Now, the numbers in the equation can be more easily related to the graph. The 40 is where the graph intersects the vertical axis, and −2 is the slope. The slope reveals that as 𝑝 increases by

1, 𝑡 decreases by 2. In other words, for every additional bag of popcorn sold, the club can sell 2 fewer cups of iced tea.

By using the intercepts, or any other points on the graph, the equation of a line can also be written in point-slope form. Consider situation 1, for example. Using the slope that has already been determined, −2.50, and the point (2, 35) from the graph, the equation 𝑦−35 = −2.50(𝑥−2)can also be used to represent the situation.

Lesson Summary The equation 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7 is a two-variable equation. Its solutions are all pairs of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values whose sum is 7. The pairs 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 7 and 𝑥 = 5, 𝑦 = 2 are examples.

• All the solutions to 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7 can be represented by the graph of the equation on a coordinate plane.

• The graph is a line, where all the points on the line are solutions to 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7. The inequality 𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 7 is a two-variable inequality. Its solutions are all pairs of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values whose sum is 7 or less than 7. This means the solutions include all the (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs that are solutions to the equation 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7, but also many other pairs of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values that add up to a value less than 7. The pairs 𝑥 = 4, 𝑦 = −7 and 𝑥 = −6, 𝑦 = 0 are examples.

On a coordinate plane, the solution to 𝑥 + 𝑦 ≤ 7 includes the line that represents 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7. Plotting some other (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs that make the inequality true, such as (4, −7) and (−6, 0), shows that these points fall on one side of the line. In contrast, (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs that make the inequality false fall on the other side of the line. Shade the region on one side of the line to indicate that all points within that region are solutions.

What about the inequality 𝑥 + 𝑦 < 7?

The solution is all pairs of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values whose sum is less than 7. This means pairs like 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 7 and 𝑥 = 5, 𝑦 = 2 are not solutions.

On a coordinate plane, the solution does not include points on the line that represents 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 7 because those points are (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs whose sum is 7.

To show that the points on the boundary line are excluded, use a dashed or dotted line. All points below that line are (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs that make 𝑥 + 𝑦 < 7 true. The region on that side of the line can be shaded to show that that region contains the solutions.

Lesson Summary Two-variable inequalities can represent constraints in real-life situations. Graphing their solutions helps to solve problems. Suppose a cafe is purchasing coffee and tea from a supplier and can spend up to $1,000 total. Coffee beans cost $12 per kilogram (kg), and tea leaves costs $8 per kg. Buying 𝑐 kg of coffee beans and 𝑡 kg of tea leaves will therefore cost 12𝑐 + 8𝑡. The inequality 12𝑐 + 8𝑡 ≤ 1,000 can be used to represent the budget constraint.

The solution to this inequality is any pair of 𝑐 and 𝑡 that makes the inequality true. In context, it is any combination of the kg of coffee and tea that the cafe can order without going over the $1,000 budget.

Different pairs of 𝑐 and 𝑡 can be tested to see which combinations satisfy the constraint, but it would be difficult to capture all the possible combinations this way. Instead, graph a related equation, 12𝑐 + 8𝑡 = 1,000, and then determine which region represents all possible solutions. The graph of the equation is shown.

126 | Unit 1

Book 1.indb 126

19/07/24 5:07 AM

To determine the solution region, select a point on the line and a point on each side of the line, and see if the pairs of values produce true statements. Three examples are shown. A point on the line:

A point below the line:

A point above the line:

(30, 80)

(20, 40)

(70, 100)

12(30) + 8(80) ≤ 1,000 360 + 640 ≤ 1,000 1,000 ≤ 1,000 This is true.

12(20) + 8(40) ≤ 1,000 12(70) + 8(100) ≤ 1,000 240 + 320 ≤ 1,000 840 + 800 ≤ 1,000 560 ≤ 1,000 1,640 ≤ 1,000 This is true.

This is false.

The points on the line and in the region below the line are solutions to the inequality. Shade the solution region. It’s easy to read solutions from the graph. For example, without any computation, it’s apparent that (50, 20) is a solution because it falls within the shaded region. If the cafe orders 50 kg of coffee and 20 kg of tea, the cost will be less than $1,000.

Lesson Summary To find the solution to 𝑥 − 𝑦 > 5, start by graphing the related equation 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 5. When identifying the solution region, it’s important not to assume that the solution will be above the line because of a > symbol or below the line because of a < symbol.

Instead, test points on the line and on either side of the line to see if they are solutions. For 𝑥 − 𝑦 > 5, points on the line and above the line are not solutions to the inequality because the (𝑥, 𝑦) pairs make the inequality false. Points that are below the line are solutions. Therefore, the lower region gets shaded.

Graphing technology can be used to graph the solution to a two-variable inequality. Many graphing tools show the solution region, as shown here. Some tools, however, may require the inequalities to be in slopeintercept form (or another form) in order to display the solution region. Be sure to learn how to use the graphing technology available in your classroom.

Although graphing by using technology is efficient, the graph needs to be analyzed with care. Some things to consider are listed. • The graphing window: If the graphing window is too small, the solution region or the boundary line may be only minimally visible, as shown here. • The meaning of solution points in the situation: For example, if 𝑥 and 𝑦 represent the lengths of 2 sides of a rectangle, then only positive values of 𝑥 and 𝑦 (or points in the first quadrant) make sense in the situation, even though all solutions to the mathematical inequality will be represented on the graph using technology.

Lesson Summary In statistics, the term variable has a slightly different meaning than it has in algebra. A variable in statistics is a characteristic of individuals in a population that can take on different values.

Data from 2 categorical variables about a single subject can be organized using a two-way table. A categorical variable takes on values which can be divided into groups or categories.

A two-way table is a way of organizing data from two categorical variables in order to investigate the association between them.

For example, this two-way table shows the results from 170 responses to a survey asking people their age group and whether or not they have a cell phone. Has a Cell Phone

Does Not Have a Cell Phone

10–12 Years Old

13–15 Years Old

16–18 Years Old

• The 38 in the table means that 38 of the 170 people surveyed are in the 13–15-yearold age range and have cell phones. • The two-way table also shows that 55 of the people surveyed do not have cell phones, since 35 + 12 + 8 = 55. © Accelerate Learning Inc. - All Rights Reserved

Guided Activity: Interpreting Joint and Marginal Frequencies 1. In 2016, the summer Olympics were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The US won the most medals with a total of 121. China came in second, winning 70 total medals. This was a much higher total than the 9 medals China won 2 years later in the winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018. Norway led the medal count in 2018 with 39, a much higher number than the 4 total medals Norway won in 2016. Canada came in third in the 2018 winter Olympics, winning 29 total medals. a.

Collaborative Activity: Interpreting Joint and Marginal Frequencies Mono Lake, in California, is a saltwater lake. Its salinity, or the concentration of salt, has varied over time. The salinity of Mono Lake was at an all-time high in 1982, at 99 grams per liter (g/L), as a result of diverting water that fed the lake. Since then, efforts to control water diversion at Mono Lake have slowly returned the salinity of the lake to normal. In 2008, the lake’s salinity was 79.8 g/L.

Two of the main organisms that live in the lake are brine shrimp and alkali flies. In 1982, there were an estimated 2,000 brine shrimp per liter of lake water. In 2008, there were 3,000 brine shrimp per liter of lake water. In 1982, there were 1,200 alkali flies per liter of lake water. That number nearly tripled to 3,500 alkali flies per liter by 2008. 1.

c. Which is greater, the combined total of alkali flies or the combined total of brine shrimp in these 2 samples?

d. What was the salinity of Mono Lake when there were 3,500 alkali flies per liter? e. Was the population of brine shrimp smaller when the salinity of Mono Lake was 99 g/L or 79.8 g/L?

Lesson Summary Two-way frequency tables contain marginal frequencies and joint frequencies. A joint frequency is found at the intersection, or joint, of a row and column. In a two-way table, a joint frequency is the number of times that a combination of 2 conditions occurs.

The total frequency for a category, which is the total frequency for any row or column in a two-way frequency table, is called a marginal frequency. A marginal frequency is found at the margin, or edge, of a column or row.

Lesson Summary Two-way tables can be used to investigate possible associations between categorical variables. For example, this two-way frequency table shows the results of a study on meditation and athletes’ state of mind before a track meet. Two-way tables and other displays explored in this lesson, such as bar graphs and segmented bar graphs, can be used to determine whether there is a possible association between meditating and being calm.

Meditated

Did Not Meditate

Total

Calm Agitated Total

An association is a way to describe the form, direction, or strength of the relationship between the two variables in a bivariate data set.

• Notice that the number of athletes who did not meditate is small compared to the number who did meditate (29 compared to 68, as shown in the table). The proportion of calm meditators and calm non-meditators can also be analyzed to determine possible associations. These proportions are relative frequencies and can be organized into a relative frequency table, like the one shown.

A proportion of a data set is the fraction of the data in a given category.

Unit 2 | 173

19/07/24 5:07 AM

The relative frequency of a category tells us the proportion at which the category occurs in the data set. It is expressed as a fraction, a decimal, or a percentage of the total number. A relative frequency table is a version of a two-way table in which the value in each cell is divided by the total number of responses in the entire table or by the total number of responses in a row or a column..

The relative frequencies can also be presented in a segmented bar graph, like the one shown. Is there an association between meditation and state of mind? Both the two-way relative frequency table and the segmented bar graph show that about 66% of athletes who meditated were calm, whereas only about 27% of those who did not meditate were calm. This does not necessarily mean that meditation causes calmness. It could be the other way around, that calm athletes are more inclined to meditate. However, this does suggest that there is an association between meditating and calmness. Relative frequencies and associations in categorical data will be explored more fully in upcoming lessons.

Lesson Summary Converting two-way tables to relative frequency tables can help reveal patterns in paired categorical variables. Relative frequency tables are created by dividing the value in each cell of a two-way table by the total number of responses in the entire table, or by the total responses in a row or a column. Depending on what patterns are important, different types of relative frequency tables are used. To examine how individual combinations of the categorical variables relate to the whole group, divide each value in a two-way table by the total number of responses in the entire table to find the relative frequency.

For example, this two-way table displays the condition of each textbook and its price for 120 of the books at a college bookstore.

A two-way relative frequency table is created by dividing each number in the two-way table by 120, because there are 120 values (3 + 9 + 27 + 33 + 36 + 12) in this data set. The resulting two-way relative frequency table can be represented using fractions, decimals, or percentages.

• This two-way relative frequency table allows shows what proportion of the total is represented by each number in the two-way table. • The number 33 in the original two-way table represents the number of used books that sell for $10 or less, which is 27.5% of all the books in the data set. • This two-way relative frequency table shows that there are very few (2.5%) new books that are inexpensive, and that 10% of the books in the bookstore are both expensive and in used condition.

In other situations, it makes sense to examine row or column proportions in a relative frequency table. For example, to convert the original two-way table to a column relative frequency table using column proportions, divide each value by the sum of the column.

Collaborative Activity: Colored Erasers An eraser factory has 5 machines. One machine makes the eraser shapes. Then, each shaped eraser goes through the red machine, blue machine, yellow machine, or green machine to have one side colored. The manager notices that the uncolored side of some of the erasers is flawed at the end of the process and wants to know which machine(s) need(s) to be fixed, the shape machine or some of the coloring machines. The manager collected data on the number of flawed and unflawed erasers of each color. The data is shown in the two-way table.

Lesson Summary An association between 2 variables means that the 2 variables are statistically related to each other. For example, most would expect that ice cream sales would be higher on sunny days than on snowy days. If sales were higher on sunny days than on snowy days, then it could be stated that there is a possible association between ice cream sales and whether it is sunny or snowing out. When dealing with categorical variables, row or column relative frequency tables are often used to look for associations in the data. A two-way table is shown displaying the ice cream cone sales and the weather conditions at a particular creamery for 41 days.

Sold Fewer Than 50 Cones Sold 50 Cones or More Total

Sunny Day

Snowy Day

Total

Noticing a pattern in the raw data can be difficult, especially when the row or column totals are different for different categories, so the data should be converted into a row or column relative frequency table to more easily compare the categories. For the creamery, notice that the number of days with low sales is about the same for the 2 weather conditions, which contradicts the original assumption. In this case, it makes sense to look at the percentage of days that saw high sales under each weather condition separately. That is, consider the column relative frequencies. • From the column relative frequency table, it’s clear that most of the sunny days resulted in at least 50 cones sold (73%), while most of the snowy days resulted in fewer than 50 cones sold (64%). • Because these percentages are quite different, this suggests there is an association between the weather conditions and the number of cone sales. 194 | Unit 2

Using row or column relative frequency tables helps organize data so that columns or rows that represent different categories for a variable can easily be compared. This comparison can be accomplished using a two-way table or a two-way relative frequency table, but it requires accounting for the differences in the number of data values in a given category.

Lesson Summary A two-way relative frequency table shows the joint relative frequencies and marginal relative frequencies of 2 categorical variables. A joint relative frequency is the ratio of the joint frequency and the total number of data points.

• All of the joint relative frequencies in a two-way relative frequency table sum to 100%.

• Marginal relative frequency is the ratio of the marginal frequency to the total number of data points. Each column or row of marginal relative frequencies sums to 100%. Conditional relative frequency is not overtly displayed in a two-way relative frequency table, but it can be found with a simple calculation. A conditional relative frequency is the ratio of a joint relative frequency to a marginal relative frequency. Equivalently, it is the ratio of a joint frequency to a marginal frequency. Conditional relative frequencies can also be used to analyze associations between categorical variables. When interpretating data with two-way frequency tables, it’s important to remember that if there is an association between the variables, it does not mean that one causes the other. Two variables can be associated without having a causal relationship.

Lesson Summary While working on problems in math class, it can be easy to forget that reality is somewhat messy. Not all oranges weigh exactly the same amount, beans have different lengths, and even the same person running the same race multiple times will probably have different finishing times. To better understand these messy situations, more precise mathematical models are used to approximate them. Additional results can be interpolated or extrapolated from the models, with caution, to predict or estimate results beyond or between the data values that were used to build the model. Keep in mind that reality will vary a little bit from what mathematical models predict, and that the model will usually only be useful for a finite interval of the domain. For quantitative bivariate data, linear equations can also be used to model the relationship. Bivariate data is data that measures two characteristics of a population.

As explored in previous courses, bivariate quantitative data can be represented using a scatter plot. A scatter plot is a graph in the coordinate plane representing a set of bivariate numerical data that is used to observe the relationship between two variables. Each point on a scatter plot represents a specific pair of values from the raw data. The 𝑥- and 𝑦-values are used to plot each data point on the coordinate plane. When all the points in a data set are represented, a line of fit is often used to model the relationship between the 2 characteristics in the data set. A line of fit is a line drawn on a scatter plot to estimate the relationship between two sets of data. A line of fit is also known as a trend line. While different lines of fit can be drawn to model the relationship, the goal is to draw the line of best fit that most accurately models the relationship. This line can then be used as a model to make predictions.

For example, the data in the scatter plot shown represents the price of a package of broccoli in relation to its weight. The data can be modeled by a line given by the equation 𝑦 = 0.46𝑥 + 0.92. The data does not all fall on the line because there may be factors other than weight that affect the price, such as the quality of the broccoli, the region where the package is sold, and any store-specific discounts. The slope and 𝑦-intercept of the model can be interpreted in context of the data.

• The 𝑦-intercept of the line represents the price for the package without any broccoli, which might include the cost of things like preparing the package and shipping costs for getting the vegetable to the store. In many situations, the data may not follow the same linear model farther away from the original given data, especially as 1 variable gets close to 0. For this reason, the 𝑦-intercept should always be interpreted in context to determine if it is reasonable.

• The slope can be interpreted as the approximate increase in price of the package for every 1 pound (lb.) of broccoli added to the package.

The equation can be used to predict additional values for the price of packages of broccoli that have weights near those observed in the data set. For example, even though the data does not include the price of a package that contains 1.7 lb. of broccoli, through interpolation, it can be predicted that the price is about $1.70 based on the equation of the line, since 0.46⋅1.7 + 0.92 ≈ 1.70.

Lesson Summary Some data sets appear to have a linear relationship, in which case finding an equation of a line that fits the data can help you understand the association between the variables.

An association is a way to describe the form, direction, or strength of the relationship between the two variables in a bivariate data set. For numerical data, descriptions include linear or nonlinear, positive or negative, strong or weak.

The scatter plot shown appears to have a linear relationship. When a linear function seems useful for modeling a data set, it’s important to find a linear function that’s close to the data. The line should have a 𝑦-intercept and slope that follow the shape of the data in the scatter plot as closely as possible. Technology can help to quickly find a line of best fit for the data, as well as the equation of the line, which can be used to analyze the situation.

Other data sets may follow nonlinear trends or lack any apparent trend at all, such as on the scatter plot shown. For these scatter plots, a linear function may not be as accurate or useful for modeling the relationship or making predictions.

Lesson Summary While mathematical tools can help find the best fit line for a data set, the strength of a linear relationship still needs to be determined. Scatter plots of data points that are close to the best fit line are better modeled by the line than scatter plots of data points that are farther from the line. The correlation coefficient is a convenient number that can be used to evaluate how well a line fits the data. The correlation coefficient is a number between 1 and −1 that describes the strength and direction of a linear association between two numerical variables. The sign of the correlation coefficient is the same as the sign of the slope of the best fit line. The closer the correlation coefficient is to 0, the weaker the linear relationship. When the correlation coefficient is closer to 1 or −1, the linear model fits the data better.

The correlation coefficient is usually represented by the letter 𝑟. Several scatter plots and their corresponding correlation coefficients are shown.

While it is possible to try to fit a linear model to any data, the scatter plot needs to be analyzed to see if there is a possible linear trend. The correlation coefficient can be used to help determine whether the linear model makes sense to use to estimate the situation. In some cases, another type of function might be a better fit for the data, or the variables being examined may be uncorrelated, in which case other connections using other variables should be explored.

Lesson Summary The value for the correlation coefficient can be used to determine the strength and direction of the association between the 2 variables represented on the scatter plot. • When both variables increase together, they have a positive association. • When one variable tends to increase as the other variable tends to decrease, the variables have a negative association. • When the data is tightly clustered around the best fit line, there is a strong association. • When the data is loosely spread around the best fit line, there is a weak association. • A moderate association would be somewhere in between. • When the data seems to have no clustering or best fit line, there is no association.

A correlation coefficient with a value near 1 suggests a strong, positive association between the variables. This means that most of the data tends to be tightly clustered around a line, and that as one of the variables increases in value, the other does as well. • The number of schools in a community and the population of the community are an example of variables that have a strong, positive association. Where there is a large population, there are usually a large number of schools, and small communities tend to have fewer schools, so the association is positive. These variables are closely tied together, so the association is strong. Similarly, a correlation coefficient near − 1 suggests a strong, negative association between the variables. Again, most of the data tends to be tightly clustered around a line, but now, as one value increases, the other decreases. • The time elapsed since leaving home and the distance left to reach school has a strong, negative association. As the time elapsed increases, the distance to school tends to decrease, so this is a negative association. Again, the variables are closely, linearly related, so this is a strong correlation.

Unit 2 | 241

The context of the situation should be considered when determining whether the association is strong or weak. In physics, measuring with precise instruments, a correlation coefficient of 0.8 may not be considered strong. In social sciences, collecting data through surveys, a correlation coefficient of 0.8 may be considered very strong. Weaker correlations mean there may be other reasons the data varies besides the connection between the 2 variables represented. For example, a sample population’s number of pets and number of siblings have a weak correlation. There may be some relationship, but there are many other factors that account for the variability in the number of pets someone has besides their number of siblings.

Practice Problems 1. The number of hours worked, 𝑥, and the total dollars earned, 𝑦, have a strong positive relationship. Explain what it means to have a strong positive relationship in this situation.

2. The number of minutes on the phone and the customer satisfaction rating have a weak negative relationship. Explain what it means to have a weak negative relationship in this context.

c. Discuss with your partner how the model could be used to estimate the number of hurricanes and tropical storms that hit Florida in 2008. Summarize your discussion.

Lesson Summary Mathematical tools such as scatter plots can be helpful in determining whether there may be a linear relationship between bivariate data. If there appears to be a linear relationship, the line of best fit and its correlation coefficient can confirm the direction (positive or negative) and strength (strong, moderate, weak, or none) of the association. When taking these features into account, along with interpretations of the slope and 𝑦-intercept in context, the model can be used to make predictions and solve problems. • When the model is used to estimate values or make predictions within the given range of data used to create the model, this is called interpolation. • When the model is used to predict future or historical values outside the range of data used to create the model, this is called extrapolation. Use caution when extrapolating from the data, as it’s not always reasonable to assume that the trends observed within the data used to create the model will extend outside of that model. For example, when examining data related to cell phone usage collected from 2000 to 2020, it would be unreasonable to extrapolate to 1950, when cell phones did not exist.

Lesson Summary This lesson revisited the concepts of relations and functions explored in prior courses. A relation is a set of input-output pairs.

A function is a mathematical relation for which each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range. In a relation or function, the input is the independent variable, and the output is the dependent variable. The independent variable is used to calculate the value of another variable.

The dependent variable is a variable representing the output of a function. Consider the relationship between the amount of time since a plane takes off, in sec., and the plane’s height above the ground, in ft. • These 2 quantities form a function if time is the independent variable (the input) and height is the dependent variable (the output) because after any number of sec. since takeoff, it is only possible for the plane to be at 1 specific height above the ground. For example, 50 sec. after takeoff, the plane might have a height of 180 ft. At that moment, it cannot be simultaneously 180 ft. and 95 ft. above the ground. For any input, there is only 1 possible output, so the height of the plane is a function of the time since takeoff. • The 2 quantities do not form a function, however, if height is the input and time is the output because the plane can be at the same height for multiple lengths of time since takeoff. For instance, when the plane is 1,500 ft. above ground, it is possible that 300 sec. have passed. It is also possible that 425 sec., 275 sec., or some other amounts of time have passed. For any input, there are multiple possible outputs, so the time since takeoff is not a function of the height of the plane.

Functions can be represented in many ways, including with a verbal description, a table of values, a graph, a mapping diagram, an expression or an equation, or a set of ordered pairs. When a function is represented with a graph, each point on the graph is a specific input-output pair. The graph shown represents the height of a plane as a function of time since takeoff.

The point (125, 400) means that 125 sec. after takeoff, the height of the plane is 400 ft.

To illustrate the efficiency of function notation, the graphs of 2 functions are shown. Each represents the cost of riding in a taxi from different companies, Friendly Rides and Great Cabs. For each taxi, the cost of a ride is a function of the distance traveled. The input is distance, in miles (mi.), and the output is cost, in dollars. • The point (2, 5.70) on 1 graph represents the cost of riding a Friendly Rides taxi for 2 mi.

• The point (2, 4.25) on the other graph represents the cost of riding a Great Cabs taxi for 2 mi. This information can be conveyed more efficiently using function notation.

• Name the function for Friendly Rides function 𝑓 and the function for Great Cabs function 𝑔. • To refer to the cost of riding each taxi for 2 mi, write 𝑓(2) and 𝑔(2).

• To say that a 2 mi. trip with Friendly Rides will cost $5.70, write 𝑓(2) = 5.70.

• To say that a 2 mi. trip with Great Cabs will cost $4.25, write 𝑔(2) = 4.25.

Lesson Summary What does a statement like 𝑝(3) = 12 mean? On its own, 𝑝(3) = 12 only reveals that when the function 𝑝 takes 3 as its input, its output is 12. If the quantities that the input and output represent are known, however, there is much more about the situation that the function represents. • If function 𝑝 gives the perimeter of a square whose side length is 𝑥 and both measurements are in inches (in.), then 𝑝(3) = 12 can be interpreted to mean “a square whose side length is 3 in. has a perimeter of 12 in.”

Statements like 𝑝(𝑥) = 32 can be interpreted to mean “a square with side length 𝑥 has a perimeter of 32 in.,” which implies that 𝑥 must be 8 in., so this can be rewritten as 𝑝(8) = 32.

• If function 𝑝 gives the number of followers, in thousands, 𝑥 months after a person started publishing content on social media, then 𝑝(3) = 12 means “3 months after the person started publishing content, they have 12,000 followers.”

It is important to pay attention to the units of measurement when analyzing a function to correctly interpret the situation. If it is overlooked that 𝑝(𝑥) is measured in thousands, 𝑝(𝑥) = 36 could be misinterpreted to mean “there are 36 followers after 𝑥 months,” when it actually means “there are 36,000 followers after 𝑥 months.”

A graph of a function can similarly help with interpreting statements in function notation.

Function 𝑓 gives the depth, in inches (in.), of water in a tub as a function of time, 𝑡, in min., since the tub started being drained. A graph of 𝑓 is shown.

Each point on the graph has the coordinates (𝑡,𝑓(𝑡)), where the first value is the input of the function and the second value is the output. • • •

𝑓(2) represents the depth of water 2 min. after the tub started being drained. The graph passes through (2, 5), so the depth of water is 5 in. when 𝑡 = 2. The equation 𝑓(2) = 5 captures this information. 𝑓(0) gives the depth of the water when the draining began, when 𝑡 = 0. The graph shows the depth of water to be 6 in. at that time, which can be expressed as 𝑓(0) = 6. 𝑓(𝑡) = 3 means that 𝑡 min. after the tub started draining, the depth of the water is 3 in. The graph shows that this happens when 𝑡 = 6.

Lesson Summary Some functions are defined by rules that specify how to compute the output from the input. Knowing the rule that defines a function can be useful because it helps us to do each of the following. • Find the output when the input is known. ◦ ◦

If the rule 𝑓(𝑥) = 5(𝑥 + 2) defines 𝑓, then find 𝑓(100) by evaluating 5(100 + 2).

If 𝑚(𝑥) = 3 − 1 𝑥 defines function 𝑚, then find 𝑚(10) by evaluating 3 − 1 𝑥(10). 2

• Create a table of values.

Tables of values representing functions 𝑓 and 𝑚 are shown.

𝒇(𝒙)

𝒙

𝒎(𝒙)

2 3 4

20 25 30

• Graph the function. The values along the horizontal axis represent the inputs, and the values along the vertical axis represent the outputs. For function 𝑓, the values of 𝑓(𝑥) are the values along the vertical axis, which are often labeled 𝑦, so 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥). Because 𝑓(𝑥) is defined by the expression 5(𝑥 + 2), graph 𝑦 = 5(𝑥 + 2).

284 | Unit 3

Book 1.indb 284

19/07/24 5:08 AM

For function 𝑚, write 𝑦 = 𝑚(𝑥), and graph 𝑦 = 3 − 1 𝑥. 2

• Find the input when the output is known. Suppose the output of function 𝑓 is 65 at some value of 𝑥, or 𝑓(𝑥) = 65, and that value needs to be determined. Because 𝑓(𝑥) is equal to 5(𝑥 + 2), write 5(𝑥 + 2) = 65, and solve for 𝑥, as shown. 5(𝑥 + 2) = 65 𝑥 + 2 = 13 𝑥 = 11

Each function described in this summary is a linear function because the value of the function changes by a constant rate and its graph is a line. A linear function is a function that has a constant rate of change.

Lesson Summary The graph of a function can offer useful information about the quantities in a situation. Some points and features of a graph are particularly informative. The graph of function ℎ is shown, which gives the height, in m, of a ball 𝑡 sec. after it is tossed up in the air. Several key features can be identified and interpreted. • The point (0, 20) is the vertical intercept, or 𝑦-intercept, of the graph. It is the point where the graph intersects the vertical axis. This point represents the initial height of the ball at 20 m because when 𝑡 is 0, the value of ℎ(𝑡) is 20. The statement ℎ(0) = 20 captures this information. • The point (1, 25) is the highest point on the graph, so it is a maximum of the graph. A maximum of a function is a value of the function that is greater than or equal to all the other values. The maximum of the graph of the function is the corresponding highest point on the graph.

The value 25 is also the maximum value of the function ℎ. It reveals that the highest point the ball reaches is 25 m, and that this happens 1 sec. after the ball is tossed.

• The point (3.2, 0) is a horizontal intercept, or 𝑥-intercept, of the graph. It is a point where the graph intersects the horizontal axis. This point is also the lowest point on the graph, so it represents a minimum of the graph. The 𝒙-intercept is the value of 𝑥 at the point where a line or graph intersects the 𝑥-axis. The value of 𝑦 is 0 at this point.

A minimum of a function is a value of the function that is less than or equal to all the other values. The minimum of the graph of the function is the corresponding lowest point on the graph. This point reveals that the ball hits the ground 3.2 sec. after being tossed up, so the height of the ball is 0 m when 𝑡 is 3.2, which is written as ℎ(3.2) = 0. © Accelerate Learning Inc. - All Rights Reserved

• The height of the graph increases when 𝑡 is between 0 and 1. Then, the graph changes direction, and the height decreases when 𝑡 is between 1 and 3.2. Neither the increasing part nor the decreasing part is a straight line. This suggests that the ball increases in height in the first sec. after being tossed and then starts falling between 1 sec. and 3.2 sec. It also reveals that the height does not increase or decrease at a constant rate. Because the intercepts of a graph are points on an axis, at least 1 of their coordinates is 0. The 0 corresponds to the input or the output of a function, or both. • A vertical intercept (typically the 𝑦-intercept) is on the vertical axis, so its coordinates have the form (0,𝑏), where the first coordinate is 0 and 𝑏 can be any number. The 0 is the input. • A horizontal intercept (typically the 𝑥-intercept) is on the horizontal axis, so its coordinates have the form (𝑎,0), where 𝑎 can be any number and the second coordinate is 0. The 0 is an output. • A graph that passes through (0, 0) intersects both axes, so that point is both a horizontal intercept and a vertical intercept. Both the input and output are 0.

Lesson Summary The graph of 1 winter day’s temperature in Greenville, South Carolina, as a function of time is shown. • The temperature was 35℉ at 9 a.m. and 45℉ at 2 p.m., an increase of 10℉ over those 5 hours (hr.).

• The change in temperature wasn’t constant, however. The temperature rose from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., stayed steady for an hour, and then rose again until 2 p.m. To determine how fast the temperature rose between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on average, calculate the average rate of change. The average rate of change of a function 𝑓 between inputs 𝑎 and 𝑏 is the change in the outputs divided by the change in the inputs, 𝑓(𝑏)⁻𝑓(𝑎) . It is the slope of the line joining ((𝑎, 𝑓(𝑎)) and 𝑏⁻𝑎 (𝑏, 𝑓(𝑏)) on the graph. • The work to determine the average rate of change from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. is shown. 45⁻35 = 10 = 2 5 5

On average, the temperature between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. increased 2℉ per hr.

• The work to determine the average rate of change from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. is shown. 30⁻45 = ⁻15 = 2.5 ⁻ 6 6

On average, the temperature between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. decreased 2.5℉ per hr.

Book 1.indb 302

19/07/24 5:08 AM

Notice that the sign of the average rate of change impacts its interpretation in context. In this context, a positive average rate of change represents an average increase in temperature, and a negative average rate of change represents an average decrease, or drop, in temperature. If determining the average rate of change using 2 points on a graph, the average rate of change is the slope of the line that connects the 2 points.

Practice Problems 1. The temperature was recorded at several times during the day. Function 𝑇 gives the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, 𝑛 hours since midnight. Here is a graph for this function.

For each time interval, decide if the average rate of change is positive, negative, or zero. a. From 𝑛 = 1 to 𝑛 = 5 ______________ b. From 𝑛 = 5 to 𝑛 = 7 ______________

c. From 𝑛 = 10 to 𝑛 = 20 ______________

d. From 𝑛 = 15 to 𝑛 = 18 ______________

Lesson Summary Graphs can be used to help visualize the relationship between quantities in a situation, even with only a general description. Consider the description of a hiker’s journey on a trail. A hiker walked briskly and steadily for about 30 min. and then took a 10 min. break. Afterward, she jogged all the way to the end of the trail, which took about 20 min. There, she took a 15 min. break and then started walking back leisurely, stopping twice to enjoy the scenery. Her return trip along the same trail took 105 min.

The sketch of a graph of the distance the hiker has traveled as a function of time based on this description is shown. Even though the specific distances she traveled and the length of the trail are unknown, the graph still shows some important features of the situation. For example:

Lesson Summary Graphs are useful for comparing 2 or more functions. The graphs of functions 𝐶 and 𝑇, which give the populations (in millions) of California and Texas in year 𝑥, are shown.

The graphs can be used to make multiple comparisons of the populations of the 2 states. Four examples are shown in the table with a description of how the answer can be determined from the graphs. The justifications are also conveyed using function notation. Comparison In the early 1900s, California had a smaller population than Texas. Around 1935, the 2 states had the same population of about 5 million people.

After 1935, California has had more people than Texas. Both populations have increased over time, with no periods of decline.

Lesson Summary The domain is another key feature of functions. The domain is the complete set of possible values of the input of a function or relation.

Depending on the situation represented, a function may take all numbers as its input or only a limited set of numbers. Three examples are described. Function 𝐴 gives the area of a square, in sq. cm, as a function of its side length, 𝑠, in cm. 19

• The input of 𝐴 can be 0 or any positive number, such as 4, 7.5, or 3 . It cannot include negative numbers because lengths cannot be negative. • The domain of 𝐴 includes 0 and all positive numbers, or 𝑠 ≥ 0.

Function 𝑞 gives the number of buses needed for a school field trip as a function of the number of people, 𝑛, going on the trip. 330 | Unit 3

Book 1.indb 330

19/07/24 5:08 AM

• The input of 𝑞 can be 0 or positive whole numbers because a negative or fractional number of people doesn’t make sense. • The domain of 𝑞 includes 0 and all positive whole numbers. If the number of people at a school is 120, then the domain is limited to all nonnegative whole numbers up to 120, or 0 ≤ 𝑛 ≤ 120 where 𝑛 is a whole number.

Function 𝑣 gives the total number of visitors to a theme park as a function of days, 𝑑, since a new attraction was opened to the public.

• The input of 𝑣 can be positive or negative. A positive input represents days since the attraction was opened, and a negative input represents days before the attraction was opened. • The input can also be whole numbers or fractional. For example, the statement 𝑣(17.5) means 17.5 days after the attraction was opened.

• The domain of 𝑣 includes all numbers. If the theme park had been open for exactly 1 year before the new attraction was opened, then the domain would be all numbers greater than or equal to − 365, or 𝑑 ≥ − 365.

Functions can also be described using the range.

The range is the complete set of possible values of the output of a relation of function.

Once the domain of a function is known, the range can be determined to what makes sense in the situation. The range for each situation is described on the next page. • The output of Function 𝐴 is the area of a square, in sq. cm, which cannot be negative but can be 0 or greater and not limited to whole numbers. The range of 𝐴 is 0 and all positive numbers, or 𝐴≥0.

• The output of Function 𝑞 is the number of buses, which can only be 0 or positive whole numbers. If there are 120 people at the school, however, and if each bus could seat 30 people, then only up to 4 buses are needed. The range that makes sense in this situation would be any whole number that is at least 0 and at most 4, or 0≥𝑞≥4 where 𝑞 is a whole number.

• The output of Function 𝑣 is the number of visitors, which cannot be fractional or negative. The range of 𝑣, therefore, includes 0 and all positive whole numbers, or 𝑣≥0 where 𝑣 is a whole number. © Accelerate Learning Inc. - All Rights Reserved

Lesson Summary Functions can be represented in a variety of ways, including input-output rules and mapping diagrams, in addition to tables of values, graphs, and equations. • An input-output rule is a rule that takes an input value and uses it to determine an output value. • A mapping diagram shows how the inputs and outputs of a function are paired. The first column represents the domain of the function, and the second column represents the range. Arrows show how each input is mapped to each output. The domain of a function can be represented in several ways, including using lists, inequalities, or compound inequalities. A compound inequality is a conjunction of two or more inequalities.

For example, −4 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3 is a compound inequality that is read as “−4 is less than or 5 equal to 𝑥, which is less than or equal to 3 .” This inequality is true for any value of 𝑥 5 between −4 and 3 , including either of those values. 5

When the elements of the domain or range consist of a set number of values, the domain and range can be represented by a list.

When the elements of the domain or range consist of an infinite number of points between specified values, the domain and range are best represented by an inequality.

Lesson Summary In addition to inequalities, other ways to represent sets of numbers include set notation and interval notation. For a function, the domain, range, and intervals of either can be represented using both notations. • Set notation is a shorthand used to write sets—often sets with an infinite number of elements. The set {𝑥: 𝑥 >0} or {𝑥|𝑥 >0} is read as, ”the set of all 𝑥, such that 𝑥 is greater than 0.” • The table shows number sets within the real number system, examples of the types of numbers included in each set, and the symbol used when referring to the set in set notation if there is one.

Lesson Summary The graph of a function can provide information about its domain and range. The graphs of 2 functions explored previously in the unit are shown. • The first graph represents the best price of bagels as a function of the number of bagels bought. • The second graph represents the height of a bungee jumper as a function of seconds since the jump began. What are the domain and range of each function? The number of bagels cannot be negative but could include 0, which would mean no bagels were purchased. The domain of the function, therefore, includes 0 and positive whole numbers, or 𝑛 ≥ 0 where 𝑛 is whole numbers. In such cases, expressing the domain using set notation makes more sense because the domain includes only values from a specific subset of real numbers. Using set notation, the domain can be expressed as {𝑥: ∈ ℤ| 𝑥 ≥0}.

The lowest price can be $0 if no bagels are purchased, certain multiples of 1.25, certain multiples of 6, and so on. Therefore, the range includes 0 and certain positive values. In this case, it is easier to describe the domain verbally than any specific mathematical notation.

The domain of the height function would include any amount of time since the jump began, up until the jump is complete. The graph shows that this happened more than 70 sec. after the jump began, but the exact value of 𝑡 is not shown. The graph shows a maximum height of 80 meters (m) and a minimum height of 10 m. It can be concluded that the range of this function includes all values that are at least 10 and at most 80. Using an inequality, the range can be expressed as 10 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 80. Using interval notation, it can be expressed as [10,80]. © Accelerate Learning Inc. - All Rights Reserved

Lesson Summary This lesson explored systems of equations. A system of equations is a set of 2 or more equations. Each equation contains 2 or more variables. The solution is the values for the variables that make all equations in the system true. A system of linear equations can have 1 solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions. • For a system of linear equations with 1 solution, there is 1 ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦) that satisfies all equations in the system. When graphed, this ordered pair will be the point where the graphs intersect. • For a system of linear equations with no solutions, there is not an ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦) that satisfies all equations in the system. When graphed, there will be no point where the graphs intersect because the graphs are parallel lines. • For a system of linear equations with infinitely many solutions, there are infinite ordered pairs (𝑥, 𝑦) that satisfy all equations in the system. When graphed, the lines will lie on top of each other because the equations represent the same line. 368 | Unit 4

Lesson Summary A costume designer needs some silver and gold thread for the costumes for a school play. She needs a total of 240 yards (yd.). At a store that sells thread by the yd., silver thread costs $0.04 per yd., and gold thread costs $0.07 per yd. The designer has $15 to spend on the thread. How many yd. of each color should she get if she is buying exactly what is needed and spending her entire budget? This situation involves 2 quantities and 2 constraints, length and cost. Answering the question means finding a pair of values that meets both constraints simultaneously. To do so, graph the system of equations that represents the context on the same coordinate plane. Let 𝑥 represent the amount of silver thread and 𝑦 represent the amount of gold thread. • The length constraint can be represented by the equation 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 240.

• The cost constraint can be represented by the equation 0.04𝑥 + 0.07𝑦 = 15.

Every point on the graph of 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 240 is a pair of values that meets the length constraint. Every point on the graph of 0.04𝑥 + 0.07𝑦 = 15 is a pair of values that meets the cost constraint. The point where the 2 graphs intersect gives the pair of values that meets both constraints, which is the solution to the system of equations. A solution to a system of equations is a coordinate pair that makes both equations in the system true.

In this example, the solution is (60, 180), which represents 60 yd. of silver thread and 180 yd. of gold thread.

Lesson Summary The solution to any system can be found by graphing, but graphing may not always be the most precise or the most efficient way to solve a system. A system of equations and its graph are shown. 3𝑝 + 𝑞 = 71

� 2𝑝 − 𝑞 = 30

The graph of the system shows an intersection at approximately (20, 10). Without using technology, it is not easy to tell what the exact values are. Instead of solving by graphing, the system of equations can be solved algebraically. One method of solving algebraically is by substitution. • Subtracting 3𝑝 from each side of the first equation, 3𝑝 + 𝑞 = 71, creates an equivalent equation, 𝑞 = 71 − 3𝑝. Rewriting the original equation this way allows the variable 𝑞 to be isolated. Because 𝑞 is equal to (71 − 3𝑝), the expression (71 − 3𝑝) can be substituted in place of 𝑞 in the second equation. Doing this results in an equation with only 1 variable, 𝑝, and makes it possible to find the value of 𝑝, as shown. 2𝑝 − 𝑞 2𝑝 − (71 − 3𝑝) 2𝑝 − 71 + 3𝑝 5𝑝 − 71 5𝑝

Original equation

Substitute 71 − 3𝑝 for 𝑞. Apply the distributive property. Combine like terms. Add 71 to both sides.

Divide both sides by 5.

• Using the value of 𝑝, find the value of 𝑞 by substituting 20.2 for 𝑝 in either of the original equations and solving the equation. This process is shown for both equations. 3(20.2) + 𝑞 60.6 + 𝑞 𝑞 𝑞

Book 1.indb 385

2(20.2) − 𝑞 40.4 − 𝑞 −𝑞 −𝑞

• The solution to the system is the pair 𝑝 = 20.2 and 𝑞 = 10.4 or the point (20.2, 10.4) on the original graph. This method of solving a system of equations is called solving by substitution because an expression was substituted for 𝑞 in the second equation.

Lesson Summary Another way to solve systems of equations algebraically is by elimination. Elimination is a method of solving a system of two equations in two variables where you add or subtract a multiple of one equation to another in order to get an equation with only one of the variables. Just like in substitution, the goal is to eliminate 1 variable to solve for the other variable. This is done by adding or subtracting equations in the system. Consider the system �

5𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 64 . 0.5𝑥 − 7𝑦 = − 9

• Notice that 1 equation has 7𝑦, and the other has − 7𝑦.

• If the second equation is added to the first, the 7𝑦 and − 7𝑦 add up to 0, which eliminates the 𝑦-variable so the equation can be solved for 𝑥, as shown. • Substitute 10 for 𝑥 in either of the equations, and find 𝑦. 5𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 5(10) + 7𝑦 = 50 + 7𝑦 = 7𝑦 = 𝑦 =

64 64 64 14 2

• The solution to the system is (10, 2).

0.5𝑥 − 7𝑦 0.5(10) − 7𝑦 5 − 7𝑦 − 7𝑦 𝑦

= −9 = −9 = −9 = − 14 = 2

5𝑥 + 7𝑦 = 64

+ (0.5𝑥 − 7𝑦 = − 9)

5.5𝑥 + 0 = 55 5.5𝑥 = 55 𝑥 = 10

In this system, the coefficient of 𝑦 in the first equation happens to be the opposite of the coefficient of 𝑦 in the second equation. The sum of the terms with 𝑦-variables is 0. What if the equations don’t have opposite coefficients for the same variable, like in the system shown?

Book 1.indb 396

�

8𝑟 + 4𝑠 = 12 8𝑟 + 𝑠 = − 3

19/07/24 5:08 AM

• Notice that both equations include the term 8𝑟. If the second equation is subtracted from the first, the 𝑟-term will be eliminated because 8𝑟 − 8𝑟 is 0, as shown.

8𝑟 + 4𝑠 = 12

− (8𝑟 + 𝑠 = − 3)

0 + 3𝑠 = 15 3𝑠 = 15

• Substitute 5 for 𝑠 in either equation to find 𝑟 as shown.

𝑠 = 5

8𝑟 + 4𝑠 = 12

8𝑟 + 4(5) = 12 8𝑟 + 20 = 12

8𝑟 =− 8𝑟

𝑟 = − 1 • The solution to the system is 𝑟 = − 1, 𝑠 = 5.

Adding or subtracting the equations in a system creates a new equation. To prove the new equation shares a solution with the original system, graph the original equations in the system and the new equation on the same coordinate plane. All 3 lines intersect at the same point.

Future lessons will investigate why this strategy works.

Lesson Summary When solving a system with 2 equations, why is it acceptable to add the 2 equations or to subtract 1 equation from the other? Remember that an equation is a statement that says 2 quantities are equal. For example, the equation 𝑎 = 𝑏 says a number 𝑎 has the same value as another number 𝑏. The equation 10 + 2 = 12 says that 10 + 2 has the same value as 12. If 𝑎 = 𝑏 and 10 + 2 = 12 are true statements, then adding 10 + 2 to 𝑎 and adding 12 to 𝑏 means adding the same amount to each side of 𝑎 = 𝑏. The result, 𝑎 + 10 + 2 = 𝑏 + 12, is also a true statement. As long as an equal amount is added to each side of a true equation, both sides of the resulting equation will remain equal. The same reasoning applies when adding variable equations in a system. �

𝑒 + 𝑓 = 17 − 2𝑒 + 𝑓 = − 1

In each equation, if (𝑒,𝑓) is a solution, the expression on the left of the equal sign and the number on the right are equal. Because − 2𝑒 + 𝑓 is equal to − 1:

• Adding − 2𝑒 + 𝑓 to 𝑒 + 𝑓 and adding − 1 to 17 means adding an equal amount to each side of 𝑒 + 𝑓 = 17. Both sides of the new equation, − 𝑒 + 2𝑓 = 16, remain equal. 𝑒 + 𝑓 = 17

+ (− 2𝑒 + 𝑓 = − 1) − 𝑒 + 2𝑓 = 16

The 𝑒- and 𝑓-values that make the original equations true also make this equation true.

• Subtracting − 2𝑒 + 𝑓 from 𝑒 + 𝑓 and subtracting − 1 from 17 means subtracting an equal amount from each side of 𝑒 + 𝑓 = 17. Both sides of the new equation, 3𝑒 = 18, remain equal. 𝑒 + 𝑓 = 17

− ( − 2𝑒 + 𝑓 = − 1) 406 | Unit 4

Book 1.indb 406

3𝑒 = 18

19/07/24 5:08 AM

The 𝑓-terms are eliminated, but the 𝑒-value that makes both of the original equations true also makes this equation true. From 3𝑒 = 18, it can be determined that 𝑒 = 6. Because 6 is also the 𝑒-value that makes the original equations true, it can be substituted into either of the equations to find the 𝑓-value. The solution to the system is 𝑒 = 6, 𝑓 = 11, or the point (6, 11) on the graphs representing the system. Substituting 6 and 11 for 𝑒 and 𝑓 in any of the equations results in true equations.

B. The three equations all have the same slope but different 𝑦-intercepts. Equations with the same slope but different 𝑦-intercepts always share a solution. C. Because 10𝑥 − 3𝑦 is equal to 29, I can add 10𝑥 − 3𝑦 to the left side of − 3𝑥 + 10𝑦 = 55 and add 29 to the right side of the same equation. Adding equivalent expressions to each side of an equation does not change the solution to the equation. D.

Lesson Summary Two algebraic strategies for solving systems of equations have been explored, solving by substitution and solving by elimination. In some systems, the equations may provide a clue as to which strategy may be more efficient based on their structure. Consider the system of equations �

𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 11

3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 18

• In this system, 𝑦 is already isolated in the first equation. The system can be solved by substituting 2𝑥 − 11 for 𝑦 in the second equation and finding the value of 𝑥. Consider the system of equations �

3𝑥 − 𝑦 = − 17

. − 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 23

• This system is also set up nicely for elimination because of the opposite coefficients of the 𝑥-variable. Adding the equations eliminates 𝑥, so the resulting equation can be solved for 𝑦. In other systems, which strategy to use is less straightforward, either because no variables are isolated or because no variables have equal or opposite coefficients.

Consider the system of equations �

Equation A Equation B

To solve this system by elimination, first rewrite 1 or both equations so that a variable can be eliminated. To do that, multiply both sides of an equation by the same factor. Remember that doing this doesn’t change the equality of the 2 sides of the equation, so the 𝑥- and 𝑦-values that make the first equation true also make the new equation true. There are different ways to eliminate a variable with this approach, as shown in the table. Strategy

Resulting System

Multiply Equation A by 3 to get 6𝑥 + 9𝑦 = 45. Adding this equation to Equation B eliminates 𝑦.

Multiply Equation B by 2 to get 2𝑥 − 6𝑦 = 12. 3

Subtracting this equation from Equation A eliminates 𝑥.

Multiply Equation A by 1 to get 𝑥 + 3 2

𝑦 = 7 1 , and multiply Equation B by 1 to 2

get 𝑥 − 3𝑦 = 6. Subtracting 1 equation from the other eliminates 𝑥.

Lesson Summary Most of the systems explored in this unit have 1 pair of values that satisfies both equations. However, recall from previously in this unit that not all systems have 1 solution. Some systems have infinitely many solutions, and others have no solution. Consider 3 systems of equations and their graphs.

System 1: �

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 = 8

The graphs of the equations in System 1 intersect at 1 point. The coordinates of the point are the 1 pair of values that are simultaneously true for both equations. When solving the system of equations, there is exactly 1 solution.

System 2: �

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8

6𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 16

The graphs of the equations in System 2 appear to be the same line. This suggests that every point on the line is a solution to both equations. In other words, the system has infinitely many solutions.

System 3: �

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = − 4

The graphs of the equations in System 3 are parallel. If the lines never intersect, then there is no common point that is a solution to both equations. Therefore, the system has no solutions.

Without graphing, how can it be determined algebraically that System 2 has infinitely many solutions? Two methods are described. • Notice that 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8 and 6𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 16 are equivalent equations. Multiplying the first equation by 2 produces the second equation. Multiplying the second equation by 1 2

results in the first equation. This means that any solution to the first equation is a solution to the second.

• Rearranging 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 8 into slope-intercept form produces 𝑦 = 8 − 3𝑥 , or

4 3 16 − 6𝑥 𝑥. Rearranging 6𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 16 gives 𝑦 = , which is also 𝑦 = 2 − 3 𝑥. 𝑦 = 2 − 4 4 8

Both lines have the same slope and the same 𝑦-intercept.

Without graphing, how can it be determined algebraically that System 3 has no solutions? Two methods are described. • Notice that in first equation 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 equals 8, but in the other equation, it equals − 4. Because it is impossible for the same expression to equal 8 and − 4, there must not be a pair of 𝑥- and 𝑦-values that are simultaneously true for both equations. This means that the system has no solutions. Rearranging each equation into slope-intercept form results in 𝑦 = − 3 𝑥 + 2 and 4

𝑦 = − 3 𝑥 − 1. Both graphs have the same slope, but their 𝑦-intercepts are different. 4

This proves that the lines are parallel and will never cross.

Lesson Summary When solving equations in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥), the solutions can be determined by identifying the 𝑥-values for which the values of the function are the same. These points represent 𝑥-values where the graphs of the functions intersect. Equations in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) can have 1 solution, no solutions, or multiple solutions depending on how many times the functions 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) intersect. Any function type can be included in a system of equations as explored in the lesson. Note that the solution to a system of equations is a coordinate pair (𝑥, 𝑦), and any solution to the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) is written in the form 𝑥 = ____. The solution is not a point that satisfies the system, but the 𝑥-value that makes the equation true.

Absolute value, exponential, and quadratic functions like those included in problems in this lesson will be explored more deeply later in this course. y

Lesson Summary A function that models a relationship between 2 quantities includes several key features that convey information about the relationship. Knowing how to identify key features from graphs, tables, and equations helps with interpreting the relationship between 2 quantities. Interpreting these key features provides a means of picturing how quantities relate to each other within a real-world context as well, a skill that will be practiced in the next lesson. For linear functions, key features include 𝑥- and 𝑦-intercepts, domain, range, and slope. Different representations more readily reveal different key features. Any given representation can be translated among other representations as needed to help identify all key features of interest. For a linear function, key features are defined as follows. • The 𝑥- and 𝑦-intercepts are the locations where the graph of the function intersects the 𝑥- and 𝑦-axis, respectively. Using a table or equation, the 𝑥-intercept is the 𝑥-value where 𝑦 = 0, and the 𝑦-intercept is the 𝑦-value where 𝑥 = 0.

• The domain is the set of all possible input values, or 𝑥-values, for the function. • The range is the set of all possible output values, or 𝑦-values, for the function. • The slope is the ratio of the change in 𝑦-values to the change in 𝑥-values. This describes the steepness and direction of the function.

To find the slope and 𝑦-intercept, I rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

To find the slope, I mentally move the 𝑥-term to the other side and divide by the coefficient of the 𝑦-term. To find the 𝑦- intercept, I divide the value that the equation is equal to by the coefficient of the 𝑦-term.

To find the slope, I write the coefficient of the 𝑥-term divided by the coefficient of the 𝑦-term. To find the 𝑦-intercept, I write the value that the equation is equal to, divided by the coefficient of the 𝑦-term.

− 15𝑦 = − 9𝑥 − 75 −15 𝑦 = −9 𝑥 − 75 −15 −15 −15

5. Work with your partner to explain what the 𝑦-intercept indicates about the gift card.

A key feature is viable if the value(s) are feasible for the real-world context. 6. Explain why the 𝑥-intercept for the function 𝐴(𝑐) = 20 − 2.75𝑐 is not viable for the context.

Lesson Summary When real-world contexts are modeled with linear functions, key features have specific meanings within the context. • The 𝑦-intercept is typically interpreted as the starting, or initial value.

• The 𝑥-intercept has different interpretations based on what it would mean for the function to have a value of 0. In a context where negative 𝑦-values are not viable in the range, the 𝑥-intercept would represent the ending, or final value. • The slope describes how the 𝑦-value changes in relation to the 𝑥-value. Slope is generally interpreted as an increase or decrease by some quantity per 1 unit of the other quantity.

Real-world contexts often include restrictions, or constraints, on what values are possible in the domain and/or range of the function. When interpreting any function, it is important to keep these constraints in mind to determine which values are viable, or feasible, in the real-world context. For example, there are situations where only integers, only positive values, or only values within a certain interval make sense. In cases where there are constraints due to the context, the domain and range should reflect this.

Lesson Summary To graph a linear function, use the form of the function given to identify at least 2 points or 1 point and the slope. Use the point(s) and slope to graph a line on the coordinate plane. If there are constraints on the context, then consider those when graphing and when finding and interpreting solutions to the function. To solve a problem using the graph of the function, find a value along the 𝑥-axis, and use the graph to read the corresponding 𝑦-value, or vice-versa, depending on the question being asked. Consider the context to determine whether all solutions represented by the graph are viable in the context. For example, a person cannot be a negative age or an age beyond what is realistic for a human. The function can also be used to solve problems algebraically. Substitute a value for the output, and solve to find the corresponding input value, or vice versa, depending on the question being asked. Again, the context needs to be carefully considered to determine if all values calculated using the function are viable. For example, it is not always possible to purchase partial quantities of something, and purchases are often limited by the budget available.

Practice Problems 1. Yasmani uses a gift card to buy video games. The initial value of the gift card is $250. The function 𝑉(𝑥) = 250 − 15𝑥 represents the amount of money, 𝑉, y in dollars, that is still left on the gift 250 card after purchasing 𝑥 video games that cost $15 each. 200

Warm-Up: How Good Were the Guesses? Before this lesson, you were asked to guess the number of objects in the jar. The guesses of all students have been collected. Your teacher will share the data and reveal the actual number of objects in the jar. Use that number to calculate the absolute guessing error of each guess, or how far the guess is from the actual number. Suppose the actual number of objects is 100. • If your guess is 75, then the absolute guessing error is 25.

Lesson Summary In a number guessing game where the guess that is closest to a target number wins, it doesn’t matter if the guess is above or below the target number. What matters is how far off the guess is from the target number, or the absolute guessing error. The smaller the absolute guessing error, or the closer it is to 0, the better.

Suppose 8 people made these guesses for the number of pretzels in a jar: 14, 15, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, and 28. If the actual number of pretzels is 22, the absolute guessing error of each number is as shown in the table. Guess Absolute Guessing Error

In this case, 21 and 23 are both winning guesses. Even though one number is an underestimate and the other an overestimate, 21 and 23 are both 1 away from 22. Of all the possible absolute guessing errors, 1 is the smallest one.

If the guesses and the guessing errors were plotted on a coordinate plane, the points would form a V shape. Notice that the V shape is above the horizontal axis, suggesting that all the vertical values are positive.

Suppose the actual number of pretzels is 19. The absolute guessing errors of the same 8 guesses are shown in this table. Guess Absolute Guessing Error

Notice that all the errors are still nonnegative. When these points are plotted on a coordinate plane, they still form a V shape, and they all land on or above the horizontal line. Why does the relationship between guesses and absolute guessing errors always have this kind of graph? This will be explored further in upcoming lessons.

Lesson Summary In a guessing game, each guess can be seen as an input of a function and each absolute guessing error as an output. Because absolute guessing error tells how far a guess is from a target number, the output is distance. Suppose the target number is 0. The distance of a guess, 𝑥, from 0 is found by calculating 𝑥 − 0. Because distance cannot be negative, find |𝑥 − 0| or simply |𝑥|. If function 𝑓 gives the distance of 𝑥 from 0, then it can be defined with the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥|.

Function 𝑓 is an absolute value function. It gives the distance of 𝑥 from 0 by finding the absolute value of 𝑥.

The graph of function 𝑓 is a V shape with the 2 lines converging at (0, 0). This point is called the vertex of the graph. It is the point where a graph changes direction, from going down to going up or the other way around. The vertex of the graph of an absolute value function is the point where the graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or vice versa. Two additional examples are shown. • The distance between 𝑥 and 4 is represented as 𝑥 − 4. Distance cannot be negative, so consider the absolute value of that difference, |𝑥 − 4|. If function 𝑝 gives the distance of 𝑥 from 4, then it is defined by the equation 𝑝(𝑥) = |𝑥 − 4|. The graph of 𝑝 is shown.

• The distance between 𝑥 and 4 is represented as 𝑥 − (−4), which is equal to 𝑥 + 4. Distance cannot be negative, so consider the absolute value of that difference, |𝑥 + 4|. If function 𝑞 gives the distance of 𝑥 from −4, then it is defined by the equation 𝑞(𝑥) = |𝑥 + 4|. The graph of 𝑞 is shown. Notice that the graphs of 𝑝 and 𝑞 are like that of 𝑓, but they have shifted horizontally.

Practice Problems 1. Shown are 4 absolute value functions and 3 coordinate pairs. Each coordinate pair represents the vertex of the graph of an absolute value function.

Lesson Summary One way to graph an absolute value function is to create a table of values to find ordered pairs (𝑥, 𝑦) that satisfy the function. Use the table and equation to identify key features of the absolute value function that can be used to graph the function. In addition to domain, range, and 𝑥- and 𝑦-intercepts, absolute value functions include other key features of interest. • The axis of symmetry is a vertical line in the form 𝑥 = ℎ that divides the graph of the function into 2 halves. • An increasing interval is an interval of the domain over which the function increases as the value of 𝑥 increases. • A decreasing interval is an interval of the domain over which the function decreases as the value of 𝑥 increases. • The vertex is the point where the function changes from increasing to decreasing. This point is the maximum if the graph opens downward or the minimum if the graph opens upward. • The end behavior describes how the function behaves “at the ends” of the graph. How the outputs of a function change as we look at input values farther and farther from 0 is called end behavior.

The function 𝑓(𝑥) = −⃒𝑥 + 2 ⃒ − 1 is shown on the coordinate plane with several key features labeled. • Notice that at the left end of the graph, as 𝑥 approaches −∞, 𝑓(𝑥) approaches −∞, and at the right end of the graph, as 𝑥 approaches ∞, 𝑓(𝑥) approaches −∞. This describes the end behavior of the function.

• From the left end of the function to 𝑥 = − 3 , the function is 2

increasing. From the 𝑥 = − 3 2

to the right end of the function, it is decreasing. Intervals can be described using inequalities, set notation, or interval notation. Unless specified, any form is acceptable. Examples of each notation for this function are shown.

Be careful not to confuse intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing with intervals where the function is positive or negative. This will be explored more in future courses. However, in this example, there is no positive interval since all values of 𝑓(𝑥) are negative for any value of 𝑥. The negative interval for the function is −∞ < 𝑥 < ∞.

Lesson Summary Absolute value functions can be used to represent real-world contexts. They are often used to model allowable or acceptable variances from some key value. In such contexts, there may be restrictions on the domain and/or range, which can put limits on the viability of key features of the function in context. For example, in this lesson, domain and range are often limited to ranges that are within an acceptable variance. Anything beyond these values is no longer acceptable. These limitations then affect the limits of the end behavior of the absolute value function. In context, the vertex and axis of symmetry each have a real-world interpretation. They do have a similar meaning because the vertex lies on the axis of symmetry, but their interpretations are not exactly the same. For example, a manufacturing company builds components. A particular component is specified to be 19.8 millimeters (mm) in width. For the components produced to be useable, their widths must be within an acceptable range. To test whether each component produced can be used or must be discarded, the manufacturing company uses the function 𝐸(𝑥) = |𝑥 − 19.8|, where 𝑥 is the width of the manufactured component, in mm, and 𝐸 is the amount of acceptable variation in width for the component to function properly. The vertex of the function represents a component that does not vary from the specified width of 19.8 mm, whereas the axis of symmetry represents the specified width. © Accelerate Learning Inc. - All Rights Reserved

Lesson Summary The parent function of an absolute value function is 𝑦 = |𝑥|. A parent function is the most basic form from which a family of similar functions is derived. Similar to transformations of figures in geometry, functions can also be transformed. Transformations of functions will be explored in more depth in future units. For now, when graphing absolute value functions, it can be helpful to understand how the value of 𝑎 impacts the shape of the graph. This knowledge, combined with other strategies learned in the last few lessons, will help ensure your graphs are accurate. For absolute value functions, the parent function can be transformed into a function of the form 𝑦 = 𝑎|𝑥 − ℎ| + 𝑘, where 𝑎 represents a vertical stretch or compression and (ℎ, 𝑘) reveals the location of the vertex. The value of 𝑎 determines whether the absolute value function opens up or down and whether it is vertically stretched or compressed as compared to the graph of 𝑦 = |𝑥|. • When 𝑎 is positive, the function opens up. When 𝑎 is negative, this acts as a reflection across the 𝑥-axis, and so the function opens down.

• When |𝑎| > 1, the function is stretched vertically. When 0 < |𝑎| < 1, the function is compressed vertically. Both these are dilations on the 𝑦-values.

The values of ℎ and 𝑘 indicate the location of the vertex. The vertex of 𝑦 = |𝑥| is at (0, 0) because the values of ℎ and 𝑘 both equal 0. When ℎ≠0, this indicates a horizontal translation, and when 𝑘≠0, it indicates a vertical translation.

To make the best comparison, it may be necessary to use the given representations to create additional representations in other forms to make sure all key features are revealed. Keep in mind, not all function types have all the same key features. When comparing 2 different types of functions, only the common key features can be compared. Common key features include domain, range, 𝑥- and 𝑦-intercepts, leading coefficient, increasing and decreasing intervals, and end behavior.
