Like most of the important concepts in mathematics, the definition of a function is simple to the point of being easily overlooked. Make sure to know the following definition: Exercise #1: An internet music service offers a plan whereby users pay a flat monthly fee of $5 and can then download songs for 10 cents each. (a) What are the independent and dependent variables in this scenario? Independent: Dependent: (b) Fill in the table below for a variety of independent values: (c) Let the number of downloads be represented by the variable x and the amount charged in dollars be represented by the variable y. Write an equation that models y as a function of x. (d) Based on the equation you found in part (c), produce a graph of this function for all values of x on the interval 040xdd. Use a calculator TABLE to generate additional coordinate pairs to the ones you found in part (b). DEFINITION: : A function is any “rule” that assigns exactly one output value (y-value) for each input value (x-value). These rules can be expressed in different ways, the most common being equations, graphs, and tables of values. We call the input variable independent and output variable dependent.
