Lesson 1a <strong>–</strong> Introduction to Functions<br />

Practice Problems<br />

10. Suppose the number of pizzas you can make in an 8 hour day is determined by the function<br />

P(t) = 12t where P is the output (Pizzas made) and t is the input (Time in hours).<br />

a) Graph this function using your calculator. [Go to Y= and type 12x into the Y1 slot. Then,<br />

press WINDOW and enter xmin = 0, xmax =8, ymin = 0, and ymax=96 then press<br />

GRAPH]. Show a good graph in the space below.<br />

b) Use the Table feature of your graph and identify the first and last ordered pairs that are on<br />

the graph (based on the information above). [2 nd >Graph will take you to the table].<br />

Include both ordered pairs and function notation.<br />

c) What is the INPUT quantity (including units) for this function? Name the smallest and<br />

largest possible input quantity then use this information to identify the PRACTICAL<br />

DOMAIN.<br />

d) What is the OUTPUT quantity (including units) for this function? Name the smallest and<br />

largest possible output quantity then use this information to identify the PRACTICAL<br />

RANGE.<br />
