MATH IV- CHAPTER 2-1 to 2-3
I. Decide whether the relation is a function. If it is a function, state the domain and range.
1. {(-5, -2), (-1, 1), (3, -6), (8, 1)} 2. {(2, -9), (2, -2), (6, 8), (8, 1), (11, -7)}
3. a x 4.
b y
c z
5. 6.
7. 8. 9.
II. FUNCTION NOTATION. Solve the following:
1. f(x) = x3 – x 2– 6x 2. g (x) =
a. f(-2) – f(9) a. g(5) + g(10)
b. -6 [(f(0) + f(9)] b. 8 [g(1) - g(2)]

2. Sand lance fish (found in the Northwest Atlantic) were collected and there age and length were recorded.
Age (years) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Mean Length (mm) 176 194 212 226 236 244 254
a. Sketch a scatter plot for the data.
b. Find the best fit line.
c. Sketch the best fit line on the scatter plot above.
f. Use the best fit line to predict the length of a 6.5 year old sand lance.
e. Find r.
f. Write a sentence which explains the direction and strength of the correlation.
