Slope
-
Real World Examples
An example of slope is the slope in the road. If a certain road has a slope that is too high then they might not allow big trucks to travel on it.
y=.4x+ 800 The slope of this equation means that for every .4 feet that the elevation increases the road will go 1 foot on the x axis. The y- intercept of 800 means that the road starts at 800 feet above sea level.

A example of slope can be calculating how long it will take to pay for something. The total cost of the car is the y value, and the slope will be the amount of money payed off each month. The slope will be negative because each month the slope amount if subtracted from the total.
y=-350x+23,000

Evaluating Functions
Function notation is useful when defining an equation because you use different letters such as \(g(x)\) and \(k(x)\). This allows for less confusing when you use \(y\), it only allows for a single equation and would create confusion when you try to do multiple equations equal to \(y\)
Function notation is when you replace y in an equation with a function, for example \( f(x) = mx + b \), which is the same as \( y = mx + b \)
Examples
\( f(x) = x^2 + 2 \)
\( f(y + 3) = (y + 3)^2 + 2 \)
\( f(y + 3) = y^2 + 9 + 2 \)
\( f(y + 3) = y^2 + 11 \)

Find \(f(x)\) when \(x = 4\) \(f (x) = 4x - 23\) \( f(x) = 4(4) - 23\) \( f(x) = 16 - 23 \) \( f(x) = -7 \)

-
Piecewise Function
The domain of the peacewise function is determined by where the constraints are. If the function says x < 2 then the domain will be (-∞,2)
-
-
Piecewise functions consist of parent functions and constraints. A piecewise function has different functions that are then constrained to certain areas on the graph by using minimum and maximum \(x\) and \(y\) values
