Name: Date: Lesson 6.2 Representing Functions
Write a verbal description of each function. Then write an algebraic
equation for the function.
1.
Laura can type 75 words per minute on a computer keyboard.
The number of words she can type, N, is a function of the amount of time,
t minutes, she spends at the computer keyboard.
2.When Melissa goes on vocation, she boards her dog at a kennel. The kennel
charges a flat fee of $50 and a daily rate of $10. The total amount Melissa pays
for her dog to stay at the kennel, y dollars, is a function of the number of days
that she boards the dog, d.
Write an algebraic equation for each function. Then construct a table of x and y values for the function.
