1.1 On the graph paper below, and with
The x-axis
The y-axis
The origin
The 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th quadrants
The axes (accurately)from -4 to 4.
1.2 Plot the following points:
A(-2; 1)
B(-3; -2)
C(3; 3)
D(2; -2)
in the bracket separated
We call the pair of numbers (the two numbers
The coordinates define
by a semi-colon)the coordinates of the point.

, Functions
Afunction is a
relationship variables; x (the input value)and y (the
ouTpuT Value) where for egchbetween
two
innut value there is only one oupa
Consider the function: y= 2x+1
We can represent this as the flow diagram seen below:
INPUT VALUE (x) x 2 +1 OUTPUT VALUE (y)
We can also represent the function in a table format:
-3 -2 -1 1 2 3
-5 -3 -1 1 3 5 7
These values can also be representedas a araph if we plot the x and y
coordinate pairs.
Why is y = 2x + 1 an example of afunction?
