1 Determine whether the given relation represents y as a function of x. 1. y 3 x = 5 When x = 1, y = ±. Therefore, the relation is not one-to-one and not a function. not a function 2. The graph passes the Vertical Line Test, so the relation is a function. function 3. y = For every x-value, there is only one corresponding y-value. Therefore, the relation is one-to-one and a function. Also, the graph of the relation passes the Vertical Line Test. function esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 1

2 4. PARKING The cost of parking a car downtown is $0.75 per 30 minutes for a maximum of $4.50. Parking is charged per second. a. Write a function for c(x), the cost of parking a car for x hours. b. Find c(2.5). c. What is the domain for c(x)? Explain your reasoning. a. A cost of $0.75 per 30 minutes is equal to a cost of $1.50 per hour. The charge maximizes at $4.50 so will remain unchanged when the car is parked for longer than 3 hours. c(x) = b = 3.75 c. D = [0, 3]; Sample answer: The number of hours must be greater than or equal to 0. a. c(x) = b. $3.75 c. D = [0, 3]; Sample answer: The number of hours must be greater than or equal to 0.
