    The document contains three math problems involving functions, domains, and ranges. The first problem asks the student to identify the domain of a function using interval notation. The second problem has the student sketch a piecewise function and write its domain. The third, more complex problem defines a cost function and asks the student to find the fixed cost, cost of making a certain number of items, and the domain and range when there is a maximum cost.

    Written Assignment Unit 1

    February 3, 2020

    1. Find the domain of the function using interval notation.

    Answer: Domain: [6, ∞)

    2. Sketch a graph of a piecewise function. Write the domain in interval notation.


    The functions that were given:

    {-1 < x < 1} (black)


    y = 3x - 2 {1 < x < 3} (purple)
    Black function: Domain: (-1, 1)
    Purple function: Domain: (1, 3)

    My made-up function:
    y=x { 3}−2 x {2} +4 {−2< x< 3 }
    Answer: Domain: (-2, 3)

    3. The cost in dollars of making x items is given by the function C(x) = 10x + 500. 
    a. The fixed cost is determined when zero items are produced. Find the fixed cost for this
    item.
    Zero items = x = 0
    C(x) = 10(0) + 500
    C(x) = 500
    Answer: $500

    b. What is the cost of making 25 items?


    C(x) = 10(25) + 500
    C(x) = 250 + 500
    C(x) = 750
    Answer: The cost of making 25 items is $750.

    c. Suppose the maximum cost allowed is $1500. What are the domain and range of the cost
    function, C(x)?
    Range: (?, 1500)
    The domain has to be positive, so x has to be 0 and more.
    C(x) = 10(0) + 500
    C(x) = 500
    When there are no items made, the cost if $500.
    Range: [500, 1500]
    To find out the maximum items that can be made with $1500, we put C(x) = 1500.
    1500 = 10(x) + 500
    1000 = 10(x)
    100 = x or x = 100
    Domain: [0, 100]
    Answer: Domain: [0, 100], Range: [500, 1500]
