They have enoughmaterials to make a rectangular rink with an area of about 1800 m2, andthey do not want to purchase any additional materials. They know, frompast experience, that a good rink must be approximately 30 m longer thanit is wide.What dimensions should they use to make their rink?EXAMPLE1Representing a situation using amathematical modelDetermine the dimensions that Jonathan and Tina should use to make their rink.Solution A: Using an algebraic modelLet x represent the length. Let y representthe width.A 5 xy1800 5 xy18005yxWe know the area must be1800 m2, so if we let thewidth be the independentvariable, we can write anexpression for the length.The width, in terms of x, is 1800xLet f (x) represent the difference betweenthe length and the width.1800f (x) 5 x 2,xwhere f (x) 5 30.x241.1Functions18005 30xUsing function notation,write an equation for thedifference in length and width.The relation is a functionbecause each input producesa unique output.

A graph provides a visual displayof how the variables in the function are related.Solution C: Using a graphical modelLet x represent the length. Let y representthe width.A 5 xy1800 5 xy18005yxUsing length (x) as theindependent variable, write anexpression for width (y).1800The width, in terms of x, is x .Let f (x) represent the differencebetween the dimensions.1800f (x) 5 x 2 xDetermine the appropriate window settingsto graph f (x) on a graphing calculator.61.1FunctionsThe value for x (length of rink)will be positive but surely lessthan 75 m, so we useXmin 5 0 and Xmax 5 75.We use the same settings forthe range of f(x), for simplicity.NEL

1.1Graph the difference function.TechUse the TRACEfeature on thegraph to investigatepoints with theordered pairs(length, length 2width) on f(x).SupportFor help using the graphingcalculator to find points ofintersection, see TechnicalAppendix, T-12.A length of 50 m gives a 14 m difference between the length and the width.Determine the length that exceeds the width by 30 m.To determine thelength that is 30 mlonger than thewidth, graphg(x) 5 30 in Y2 andlocate the point ofintersection for g(x)and f(x).The dimensions that are 30 m apart and produce an area of 1800 m2 are60 m 3 30 m.ReflectingA.Would the function change if width was used as the independentvariable instead of length?

Solutiona)4yApply the vertical line test. Any vertical line drawn on thegraph of a function passes through, at most, a single point.This indicates that each number in the domain corresponds toonly one number in the range, which is the condition for therelation to be a function.y f(x)2x–4 –2 0–224–4The graph represents an exponential function.Since the graph of this function has no breaks, or verticalasymptotes, and continues indefinitely in both the positiveand negative direction, its domain consists of all the realnumbers.D 5 5xPR6R 5 5 yPR 0 y . 226The function has a horizontal asymptote defined by theequation y 5 22.

All itsvalues are positive, since x is squared, so they lie above thishorizontal line.c)–2–10120123The mapping diagram indicates that each number in thedomain corresponds to only one number in the range.A function can have converging arrows but cannot havediverging arrows in a mapping diagram.This is a function.D 5 522, 21, 0, 1, 26R 5 50, 1, 2, 3681.1FunctionsThe first oval represents the elements found in the domain.The second oval represents the elements found in the range.NEL

1.1EXAMPLE3Using reasoning to determine the domainand range of a functionNaill rides a Ferris wheel that has a diameter of 6 m. The axle of the Ferris wheel is4 m above the ground. The Ferris wheel takes 90 s to make one complete rotation,and Naill rides for 10 rotations. What are the domain and range of the functionthat models Naill’s height above the ground, in terms of time, while he rides theFerris wheel?Solutionh(t) 5 a sin 3k(t 2 d)4 1 corh(t) 5 a cos 3k(t 2 d) 4 1 cThis situation involves circular motion,which can be modelled by a sine orcosine function.Examine the conditions on theindependent variable time to determinethe domain. Time cannot be negative,so the lower boundary is 0. The wheelrotates once every 90 s, and Naill ridesfor 10 complete rotations.D 5 5tPR 0 0 # t # 900 690 3 10 5 900The upper boundary is 900 s.663m3m1mR 5 5h(t) PR 0 1 # h(t) # 76NELExamine the conditions on the dependentvariable height to determine the range.The radius of the wheel is 3 m. Since theaxle is located 4 m above the ground, thelowest height that Naill can be above theground is the difference between theheight of the axle and the radius of thewheel: 4 2 3 5 1 m. This is the lowerboundary of the range.The greatest height he reaches is the sumof the height of the axle and the radiusof the wheel: 4 1 3 5 7 m. This is theupper boundary of the range.Chapter 19

In SummaryKey Ideas A function is a relation in which there is a unique output for each input. This means that each value of the independentvariable (the domain) must correspond to one, and only one, value of the dependent variable (the range). Functions can be represented graphically, numerically, or algebraically.Graphical ExampleNumerical ExamplesySet of ordered pairs:5(1, 3), (3, 5), (22, 9), (5, 11) 64Table of values:2–4 –2 0–2–4Algebraic Examplesx24xy224211001124y 5 2 sin (3x) 1 4orf (x) 5 2 sin (3x) 1 4Mapping diagram:–113–352–10Need to Know Function notation, f (x), is used to represent the valuesof the dependent variable in a function, so y 5 f (x). You can use the vertical line test to check whether agraph represents a function. A graph represents afunction if every vertical line intersects the graph in,at most, one point. This shows that there is only oneelement in the range for each element in thedomain. The domain and range of a function depend on thetype of function. The domain and range of a function that models aparticular situation may need to be restricted, basedon the situation. For example, negative values maynot have meaning when dealing with variables suchas time.101.1Functionsy0functionyxx0not a functionNEL

1.3In SummaryKey IdeaFunctions can be categorized based on their graphical characteristics: domain and range intervals of increase and decrease x-intercepts and y-intercepts symmetry (even odd) continuity and discontinuity end behaviourNeed to Know Given a set of graphical characteristics, the type of function that has thesecharacteristics can be determined by eliminating those that do not have thesecharacteristics. Some characteristics are more helpful than others when determining the typeof function.CHECK Your Understanding1.
