Example Question #1 : Understand Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.F.A.1

Solve the equation:

$\small 13 = x^2-12x$

Possible Answers:

$\small \left \{-1, 13 \right \}$

$\small \left \{-13, 1\right \}$

$\small \left \{ 2, 4\right \}$

$\small \left \{ 1, 2 \right \}$

$\small \left \{0\right\}$

Correct answer:

$\small \left \{-1, 13 \right \}$

Explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation, $\small 13= x^{2} -12x$ , we set the equation equal to zero and then factor the quadratic, $\small (x-13)(x+1)=0$ . Because these expressions multiply to equal 0, then it must be that at least one of the expressions equals 0. So we set up the corresponding equations x-13=0 and x+1=0 to obtain the answers x=13 and x=-1 .

Example Question #1 : How To Use The Quadratic Function

Solve for :

$x^{2}+12x+35=0$

Possible Answers:

x=-5,-7

The solution is undefined.

x=3,15

x=-5,-9

x=7,9

Correct answer:

x=-5,-7

Explanation:

To factor this equation, first find two numbers that multiply to 35 and sum to 12. These numbers are 5 and 7. Split up 12x using these two coefficients:

x^2 + 7x+5x+35=0

x(x+7)+5(x+7)=0

(x+5)(x+7)=0

x=-5,-7

Example Question #1 : Functions

Solve for :

$3x^{2}-18x+24=0$

Possible Answers:

$x=2,\,3$

$x=2,\,4$

$x=-1,\,-6$

$x=-6,\,1$

$x=-2,\,4$

Correct answer:

$x=2,\,4$

Explanation:

To find , we must factor the quadratic function:

$3x^{2}-18x+24=0$

$3(x^{2}-6x+8)=0$

3(x-4)(x-2)=0

$x-4=0\, and \, x-2=0$

$x=4\,and\,2$

Example Question #241 : Grade 8

Solve for :

$2x^{2}-10x-28=0$

Possible Answers:

$x=2\,and\,x=-5$

$x=2\,and\,x=-7$

$x=-1\,and\,x=5$

$x=-2\,and\,x=5$

$x=-2\,and\,x=7$

Correct answer:

$x=-2\,and\,x=7$

Explanation:

To find , we want to factor the quadratic function:

$2x^{2}-10x-28=0$

$2(x^{2}-5x-14)=0$

2(x-7)(x+2)=0

$x-7=0\,and\,x+2=0$

$x=7\:and\:-2$

Example Question #1 : Understand Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.F.A.1

Which of the following equations represents a one-to-one function:

A) y = 3

B) y = 3x +5

$C) y = 3x^{2}-5$

$D) y^{2}= x^{2} - 5$

E) x = -3

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Only equation B maps each value of into a unique value of and in a similar way each and every value of maps into one and only one value of .

Example Question #1 : Understand Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.F.A.1

$f(x) = \frac{x^{4}-x+\sqrt[3]{x}}{x^{x}+3x}$

Find f(1) .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Undefined

$\frac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

This question demonstrates that complicated functions are not complicated at every point.

To solve the function at x=1, all that is necessary is familiarity with the operations used.

$f(1) = \frac{1^{4}-1+\sqrt[3]{1}}{1^{1}+3(1)}$

$= \frac{1-1+1}{1+3}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$

Example Question #2 : Understand Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.F.A.1

Define $f(x) = x^{2} - 4x + 7$ .

Evaluate f(6) .

Possible Answers:

f(6) = 5

f(6) = 199

f(6) = -132

f(6) = 121

f(6) = 19

Correct answer:

f(6) = 19

Explanation:

To evaluate f(6) substitute six in for every x in the equation.

$f(x) = x^{2} - 4x + 7$

$\\f(6) = 6^{2} - 4 \cdot 6 + 7 \\f(6)= 36 - 24 + 7\\f(6) = 12 + 7 \\f(6)= 19$

Example Question #3 : Understand Functions: Ccss.Math.Content.8.F.A.1

Define g(x )= 3x - 13

Which of the following is equivalent to g(x+ 6 ) ?

Possible Answers:

3x+ 7

3x-5

3x- 7

3x+ 5

Correct answer:

3x+ 5

Explanation:

To solve this problem replace every x in g(x) with x+6 .

g(x )= 3x - 13

Therefore,

g(x+ 6 )= 3(x+ 6 ) - 13

$= 3\cdot x+ 3 \cdot 6 - 13$

= 3 x+ 18- 13

= 3 x+ 5

Correct answer:

Screen shot 2016 03 14 at 8.52.05 am

Explanation:

Each of the tables provided contains sets of ordered pairs. The input column represents the x-variables, and the output column represents the y-variables. We can tell if a set of ordered pairs represents a function when we match x-values to y-values.

In order for a table to represents a function, there must be one and only one input for every output. This means that our correct answer will have all unique input values:

Functions cannot have more than one input value that is the same; thus, the following tables do not represent a function:
