1. A function assigns every element of its domain to
exactly one element of its range.
A function f (x) with values that decrease as x
increases is a decreasing function.
7. The extrema of a function can include relative
maxima or minima.
SOLUTION: Although there are other examples, the extrema of a
function can include relative maxima or minima.
SOLUTION: A function assigns every element of its domain to
exactly one element of its range. When more than
one element of the range is assigned to one element
of the domain, then the relation is not a function.
2. Graphs that have point symmetry can be rotated
180° with respect to a point and appear unchanged.
SOLUTION: 8. The translation of a graph produces a mirror image
of the graph with respect to a line.
SOLUTION: The reflection of a graph produces a mirror image of
the graph with respect to a line. A translation
produces a duplicate image of the graph, just moved
vertically or horizontally.
9. A one-to-one function passes the horizontal line test.
Graphs that have point symmetry can be rotated
180° with respect to a point and appear unchanged.
3
An example of this is the graph of f (x) = x which is
symmetric with respect to the origin.
3. An odd function has a point of symmetry.
SOLUTION: 3
An example of this is the graph of f (x) = x which is
symmetric with respect to the origin. A function is
odd when f (−x) = −f (x).
SOLUTION: A function is one-to-one when every value of x is
associated with a unique value of y. In the graph of
this function, each individual y-value will occur only
once. Because of this, no horizontal line will cross
the graph at more than one point.
10. One-to-one functions have line symmetry.
SOLUTION: Inverse functions have line symmetry because the

4. The graph of a continuous function has no breaks or
holes.
SOLUTION: The graph of a continuous function has no breaks or
holes. If a function has a break or a hole, then it will
not be continuous.
5. The limit of a graph is the concept of approaching a
value without necessarily ever reaching it.
SOLUTION: The end behavior of a graph is the concept of
approaching a value without necessarily ever
reaching it. The concept of a function approaching a
value without necessarily reaching it is called a limit.
6. A function f (x) with values that decrease as x
increases is a decreasing function.
SOLUTION: graph of the inverse function f (x) and the graph of
f(x) are symmetric with respect to the line y = x.
Determine whether each relation represents y
as a function of x.
11. 3x − 2y = 18
SOLUTION: This equation represents y as a function of x,
because for every x-value there is exactly one
corresponding y-value. The only linear equations that
are not functions are of the form x = c.
12. y 3 − x = 4
SOLUTION: This equation represents y as a function of x,

62. AUTOMOBILES The fuel economy for a hybrid
car at various highway speeds is shown.
Before her promotion, the graph of her salary is
constant and will be represented by a horizontal line.
After the promotion, the graph will jump up and then
be represented by a new horizontal line. There will
be a jump discontinuity at this point.
64. BASEBALL The table shows the number of home
runs by a baseball player in each of the first 5 years
he played professionally.
a. Approximately what is the fuel economy for the
car when traveling 50 miles per hour?
b. At approximately what speed will the car’s fuel
economy be less than 40 miles per gallon?
a. Explain why 2006 represents a relative minimum.
b. Suppose the average rate of change of home runs
between 2008 and 2011 is 5 home runs per year.
How many home runs were there in 2011?
c. Suppose the average rate of change of home runs
between 2007 and 2012 is negative. Compare the
number of home runs in 2007 and 2012.
SOLUTION: SOLUTION: a. Analyze the graph. The speed is shown along the
x-axis. Scroll to where the speed is 50 mph and then
look up to where the graph is at that point. It appears
to be near 51 mi/g.
Sample answer: approximately 51 mpg
b. Analyze the graph. The fuel economy is shown
along the y-axis. Scroll to where the fuel economy is
40 mi/g and then look to where the graph is at that
point. It appears to be near 67 mph.
Sample answer: approximately 67 mph or faster
a. Sample answer: The number of home runs decreased, then increased. This tells us that there is
a minimum. Also, the value of 23 is not the smallest
value on the graph. Therefore, the minimum is local
and not absolute.
b. 42 · 3(5) = 57
c. When the average rate of change is negative from
point a to point b, then the graph has decreased from
a to b. There were fewer home runs in 2012 than in
2007.

top of a cliff. The velocity of the stone measured in
meters per second after t seconds can be modeled
by v(t) = –9.8t + 7. The speed of the stone is the
absolute value of its velocity. Draw a graph of the
stone’s speed during the first 6 seconds.

66. FINANCIAL LITERACY A department store
advertises $10 off the price of any pair of jeans.
How much will a pair of jeans cost if the original
price is $55 and there is 8.5% sales tax?
SOLUTION: Multiply the tax percentage by the price. This is your
total tax. Add this to the price and you get the total
price. 55 · 1.085 ≈ 48.83
