1.1 Four Waỵs to Represent a Function

1. The functions ( ) = + 2 − and ( ) = + 2 − give exactlỵ the same output values for everỵ input value, so
and are equal.
2− ( − 1)
2. ( ) = = = for 1 = 0, so and [where ( ) = ] are not equal because (1) is undefined and
−
−1 −1
(1) = 1.
3. (a) The point (−2 2) lies on the graph of , so (−2) = 2. Similarlỵ, (0) = −2, (2) = 1, and (3) 2 5.
(b) Onlỵ the point (−4 3) on the graph has a -value of 3, so the onlỵ value of for which ( ) = 3 is −4.
(c) The function outputs ( ) are never greater than 3, so ( ) ≤ 3 for the entire domain of the function. Thus, ( ) ≤ 3 for
−4 ≤ ≤ 4 (or, equivalentlỵ, on the interval [−4 4]).
(d) The domain consists of all -values on the graph of : { | −4 ≤ ≤ 4} = [−4 4]. The range of consists of all the
-values on the graph of : { | −2 ≤ ≤ 3} = [−2 3].
(e) For anỵ 1 2 in the interval [0 2], we have ( 1) ( 2). [The graph rises from (0 −2) to (2 1).] Thus, ()is
increasing on [0 2].
4. (a) From the graph, we have (−4) = −2 and (3) = 4.
(b) Since (−3) = −1 and (−3) = 2, or bỵ observing that the graph of is above the graph of at = −3, (−3) is larger
than (−3).
(c) The graphs of and intersect at = −2 and = 2, so ( ) = ( ) at these two values of .
(d) The graph of lies below or on the graph of for −4 ≤ ≤ −2 and for 2 ≤ ≤ 3. Thus, the intervals on which
( ) ≤ ( ) are [−4 −2] and [2 3].
(e) ( ) = −1 is equivalent to = −1, and the points on the graph of with -values of −1 are (−3 −1) and (4 −1), sothe
solution of the equation ( ) = −1 is = −3 or = 4.
(f) For anỵ 1 2 in the interval [−4 0], we have ( 1) ( 2). Thus, ( ) is decreasing on [−4 0].
(g) The domain of is { | −4 ≤ ≤ 4} = [−4 4]. The range of is { | −2 ≤ ≤ 3} = [−2 3].
(h) The domain of is { | −4 ≤ ≤ 3} = [−4 3]. Estimating the lowest point of the graph of as having coordinates
(0 0 5), the range of is approximatelỵ { | 0 5 ≤ ≤ 4} = [0 5 4].
5. From Figure 1 in the text, the lowest point occurs at about ( ) = (12 −85). The highest point occurs at about (17 115).
Thus, the range of the vertical ground acceleration is −85 ≤ ≤ 115. Written in interval notation, the range is [−85 115].

14. Each ỵear corresponds to exactlỵ one tuition cost . Thus, the table defines as a function of .
15. No, the curve is not the graph of a function because a vertical line intersects the curve more than once. Hence, the curve fails
the Vertical Line Test.
16. Ỵes, the curve is the graph of a function because it passes the Vertical Line Test. The domain is [−2 2] and the range
is [−1 2].
17. Ỵes, the curve is the graph of a function because it passes the Vertical Line Test. The domain is [−3 2] and the range
is [−3 −2) ∪ [−1 3].
18. No, the curve is not the graph of a function since for = 0, ±1, and ±2, there are infinitelỵ manỵ points on the curve.
19. (a) When = 1950, ≈ 13 8◦C, so the global average temperature in 1950 was about 13 8◦C.
(b) When = 14 2◦C, ≈ 1990.
(c) The global average temperature was smallest in 1910 (the ỵear corresponding to the lowest point on the graph) and largest
in 2000 (the ỵear corresponding to the highest point on the graph).
(d) When = 1910, ≈ 13 5◦C, and when = 2000, ≈ 14 4◦C. Thus, the range of is about [13 5, 14 4].
20. (a) The ring width varies from near 0 mm to about 1 6 mm, so the range of the ring width function is approximatelỵ [0 1 6].
(b) According to the graph, the earth graduallỵ cooled from 1550 to 1700, warmed into the late 1700s, cooled again into the
late 1800s, and has been steadilỵ warming since then. In the mid-19th centurỵ, there was variation that could have been
associated with volcanic eruptions.
21. The water will cool down almost to freezing as the ice melts. Then, when
the ice has melted, the water will slowlỵ warm up to room temperature.
