APPLIED ALGEBRA EXAM 6 QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
Location of output and input
(Input left, output right)
F (x)
F is the output, x is the input. Anything in parenthesis is input
On a graph what is the input variable?
Horizontal axis
On a graph what is the output variable?
Vertical axis
Formula for rates of change
Y2- Y1/ X2 - X1
What does rate of change always use?
"per" as in per hour, per year, per session etc.
What does a linear function NOT have?
No square root, no squares powers, x is not upstairs as a power, no x as denominator
If calculating time what do you use?
Military time
Linear functions equation
F(x)= Mx+ b
What is the slope in linear function formula f(x) =Mx+ b
M is the slope. The average rate of change, and instantaneous rate of change, & slope are all
equal
