Warm Up
Get started by checking out a decent online lesson on today's topic. Be prepared to share what you learned: http://bit.ly/ZD329j
Lesson
Today we will be completing lesson 5 from our last unit (which we had previously skipped). You will see that function notation is simply another way of writing out equations. Instead of the equation set to equal "y" the equation is set to equal "a function of x" or "f of x" which we write "f(x)". Note: here the bracket around the x does not mean multiplication but is simply stating the domain, independent or input variable.
Practice
Today's HW is lesson 5 from our last unit: p. 319 #4 - 10 even, however I would recommend a little online practice first. Try this game: http://www.quia.com/cb/79591.html then go to the online practice tab above and try the khan academy #7 Function Notation - don't forget to log in.
Wrap Up
Log out, close all apps and work on your homework. Don't forget tutorial on Monday for anyone needing some help with graphing - which we will be using in our next unit: Unit 5 Systems of Equations.
