Remarks
Example 1: Given the relation {(-3, -1), (2, -1), (1, 0), (2, 5)}, determine if the relation can be a function.Example 2: for f(x)=2x+6, find f(3) and find x such that f(x)=10
Example 3: Given the graph of the relation below, decide if this relation is a function. Explain your reasoning.

Also Assesses: - Clarification :
Students will identify and/or analyze relations and functions given in various forms, including graphs, tables, sets of ordered pairs, and equations. - Content Limits :
Items may ask students to write given functions as equations.
In items that require students to determine the equation of a function, only continuous linear and/or quadratic functions should be used.
Items presenting a relation as a set of ordered pairs may not exceed 6 ordered pairs in the set.
In items presenting relations as graphs for the purpose of determining if the relation is a function, the graph need not be continuous.
Items should utilize function notation as appropriate - Stimulus Attributes :
Items may be set in either real-world or mathematical contexts. - Response Attributes :
Fill-in response items may require that students provide an element of the range (or domain) for a point of interest.
Fill-in response items may have a negative answer.

- Question:
For one child, a childcare facility charges $300 per month for preschool and $3.50 per hour for each hour of childcare after preschool. The function below can be used to determine f (h), the monthly fee for childcare and preschool, where h represents the number of hours spent in childcare after preschool.
f (h) = 300 + 3.5hIf the one-month charges for one child totaled $637.75, what was the total number of hours the child spent in childcare after preschool?
