Every function is a rule which tells you how to associate inputs and outputs. The input, also known as independent variable, is often indicated with the letter , while the output, also known as dependent variable, is often indicated with the letter
.
With this notation, we write , read "y is a function of x", in the sense that the value of the variable y depends on the value of the variable x, and f is the function that tells you how y depends on x.
In your example, you have , which means "subtract four times the input (4x) from 2"
So, it doesn't matter which input you chose (i.e. the value for x), because you will always have to behave this way:
- Pick an input value, x
- Multiply it by four to get 4x
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-4x
Here are some examples of explicit calculations: if I choose and input, the workflow will be
- Pick an input value, 2
- Multiply it by four to get 8
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-8=-6
So, if the input is 2, the output is -6
Similarly, if we choose as input, we have:
- Pick an input value, 0
- Multiply it by four to get 0
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-0=2
So, if the input is 0, the output is 2. And so on: for every possible value for x you have the correspondant value for y, with the function f telling you how to associate one with the other.

2) D: x = [0, 24]
3) R: y = [0, 384]

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Eric's regular wage is $12 per hour for all hours less than 9 hours.
The minimum number of hours Eric can work each day is 0.
f(x) = 12x for 0 ≤ x < 9
Eric's overtime wage is $18 per hour for 9 hours and greater.
The maximum number of hours Eric can work each day is 24 (because there are only 24 hours in a day).
f(x) = 18(x - 8) + 12(8)
= 18x - 144 + 96
= 18x - 48 for 9 ≤ x ≤ 24
The daily wage where x represents the number of hours worked can be displayed in function format as follows:
2) Domain represents the x-values (number of hours Eric can work).
The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0 and the maximum he can work in one day is 24.
D: 0 ≤ x ≤ 24 → D: x = [0, 24]
3) Range represents the y-values (wage Eric will earn).
Eric's wage depends on the number of hours he works. Use the Domain (given above) to find the wage.
The minimum hours he can work in one day is 0.
f(x) = 12x
f(0) = 12(0)
= 0
The maximum hours he can work in one day is 24 <em>(although unlikely, it is theoretically possible).</em>
f(x) = 18x - 48
f(24) = 18(24) - 48
= 432 - 48
= 384
D: 0 ≤ y ≤ 384 → D: x = [0, 384]
4) see graph.
Notice that there is an open dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 12x
and a closed dot at x = 9 for f(x) = 18x - 48
