Explain how to determine whether a relation is a function. What is a function?
Exercises \(129-131\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Use point plotting to graph \(f(x)=x+2\) if \(x \leq 1\)
use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use \(a[-5,5,1]\) by \([-5,5,1]\) viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$ g(x)=\left|4-x^{2}\right| $$
The bar graph shows your chances of surviving to various ages once you reach 60 The functions $$ \begin{aligned} f(x) &=-2.9 x+286 \\ \text { and } g(x) &=0.01 x^{2}-4.9 x+370 \end{aligned} $$ model the chance, as a percent, that a 60 -year-old will survive to age \(x .\) Use this information to solve Exercises \(101-102\) a. Find and interpret \(f(90)\) b. Find and interpret \(g(90)\) c. Which function serves as a better model for the chance of surviving to age \(90 ?\)
The function $$ f(x)=-0.00002 x^{3}+0.008 x^{2}-0.3 x+6.95 $$ models the number of annual physician visits, \(f(x),\) by a person of age \(x .\) Graph the function in a \([0,100,5]\) by \([0,40,2]\) viewing rectangle. What does the shape of the graph indicate about the relationship between one's age and the number of annual physician visits? Use the \([\mathrm{TABLE}]\) or minimum function capability to find the coordinates of the minimum point on the graph of the function. What does this mean?
