WARM-UP — 5 MINUTES

Function or Not? You Decide!

Sort these into two piles at your desk!

Set A

{(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7)}

Function? ____

Set B

{(1, 4), (2, 7), (1, 9)}

Function? ____

Set C

{(5, 2), (6, 2), (7, 2)}

Function? ____

Set D

{(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}

Function? ____

Hint: Check if any x-value REPEATS with different y-values!

I DO — EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION

A Function is Like a Vending Machine 🏪

🏪 VENDING
Each BUTTON gives
EXACTLY ONE item!
A1
A2
A3
B1
B2
B3

Button A1 → always chips
Button B2 → always water

Each x (input) → only ONE y (output) = FUNCTION

Dallas Example

✅ Each student ID # → one student name = FUNCTION

❌ One phone number → multiple people = NOT a function

📏 Vertical Line Test (for graphs)

"If a vertical line touches the graph more than once at any spot → NOT a function!"

Same y is OK! → {(1,5), (2,5), (3,5)} IS a function (each x is different)

I DO / WE DO — SCATTERPLOTS IN DESMOS

Dallas Temperature vs Ice Cream Sales 🍦

MonthTemp (°F)Ice Cream Sales
Jan45120
Mar62210
May78340
Jul95480
Sep85400
Nov55160

🖩 Desmos Steps

1. Press + → click "table"

2. Enter Temp as x, Sales as y

3. Click "Add regression"

4. Read: m = slope (how much sales change per degree)

As temp goes UP, sales go UP → POSITIVE association!

Types of Association

📈 Positive
Both go UP together
📉 Negative
One up, other DOWN
🤷 None
No pattern at all

Making Predictions

"If it's 95°F in July, trace UP to the trend line — how many ice cream sales?"

The regression equation lets you predict values you don't have!

WE DO — GUIDED PRACTICE: FUNCTIONS

Is It a Function? 🤔

Problem 1

{(2, 5), (3, 7),
(4, 9), (5, 11)}
x-values: 2, 3, 4, 5 ✅
Any repeat? NO
YES, function!

Problem 2

{(1, 4), (2, 7),
(1, 9), (3, 5)}
x-values: 1, 2, 1, 3 ✅
Any repeat? ____
→ Function? ____

Problem 3

{(4, 2), (5, 8),
(6, 2), (7, 10)}
x-values: ________
Repeat? ____
→ Function? ____
📋 Function Checklist:
☐ List ALL x-values
☐ Does any x REPEAT?
☐ If repeat → different y's? → NOT a function
☐ No repeats → IS a function!
⚠️ Tricky Part:
Same y is OK! → {(1,5), (2,5)} IS a function
Same x with different y's → NOT a function!
