Linear Function
Linear Function
b
y - intercept. The x – intercept is
m
The domain and range of a linear function are all real numbers.
Graph
Graph of a Linear Function
The linear function can be graphed using the slope
and the y-ntercept
Example If f ( x) 3 x 2 m = 3 b = 2
y f (0) f (1) 1 1 / 2
-2 ¼ .1 / 2
x 0 (1) 1
y f (1) f (0) 2 1
-1 ½ 1
x 1 0 1
0 1
The rate of change is not

If g(x) =-2x+30=60
0<2x+30<60
-2x+30=60
-30 < -2x < 30
-2x = 30, x = -15 15 > x > -15

• Cost Function: C(x) = 0.38x + 5 in dollars
• Find Cost for x = 50 minutes
• C(50) = .38(50) + 5 = 19+5= $24
• The price will decrease if the quantity of demand is less than the
quantity of supply

Straight Line Depreciation
• Straight Line Depreciation = Book Value / approximate life
• Let V(x) be value of machine after x years
• Cost of machine = Book Value = V(0)
• V(x) = 120,000 – ($120,000 / 10)x = -12,000x +120,000

Straight Line Depreciation(cont)
• Book value after 4years = –12000(4)+1210,000 =120000-
8000=72000
• After 4 years the machine will be worth $72,000
