1. There are three seconds left on the clock and Steph Curry is about to take the
win for the Warriors. He takes a half-court shot and the ball reaches a maximum
height of 20 feet. Circle all of the possible ranges that could represent his shot.

a. 30
b. 20
c. 8
d. -10
e. 6.5

2. Create two graphs in the boxes below - one that is a function and one that is
not. Use the vertical line test to determine which is a function and which is not.
Function:

Not A Function:

3. The function f has a domain of {1, 3, 5, 7} and a range of {2, 4, 6}. Could f be
represented by {(1,2),(3,4), (5,6), (7,2)}? Justify your answer.

5. Adolfo went on a hiking trip last weekend. The graph below shows the altitude
of the hiking trail as a function on distance traveled.

What is the domain (D) of this function in interval notation?

6. Use the graph below to answer the following questions.

a. Determine if the graph below represents a
function and explain how you know.

b. Find the domain and range and write using set

notation.

7. What is the range of the

function f ( x )=2 x+ 3 when the domain is {-3, -1, 1}?

8. Suppose that a person has been shot out of a cannon into the air. Her height, in
2
feet, after t seconds is given by the equation h ( t ) =16 t +40 t +5 . To find height,
(h), at any time, (t), we input the value t into the equation.

a. Complete the input-output table below.

Time, t

1
1.25
2

Height, h(t)

b. What does h(1.25) = 30 tell you about the person?
