In this assessment, you will find five questions listed under each school of study. You only need to solve problems related to your school of study. Provide detailed steps, wherever required. Also, support each solution with an appropriate rationale. In other words, always show your work.
School of Nursing
1. A hospital uses unique identifiers, called Patient IDs, for every patient. Each patient relating to his or her Patient ID would be a function because no two patients could have the same ID. Describe an everyday situation between variables in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart or graph you might find in a hospital that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain in detail why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values of the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
School of Electronics Technology
1. The media access control (MAC) address of a network interface is a unique address. Each network interface relating to its MAC fits the criteria of a function because each device has its own unique MAC address. Describe an everyday situation in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart or graph you might find related to any electronics' processing that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain, in detail, why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values of the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
School of Information Technology
1. The media access control (MAC) address of a network interface is a unique address. Each network interface relating to its MAC fits the criteria of a function because each device has its own, unique MAC address. Describe an everyday situation in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart or graph you might find related to a computer that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain in detail why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values, given the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
School of Drafting and Design
1. Car manufacturers use a vehicle identification number (VIN) to identify individual motor vehicles. Each car relating to its VIN would be a function because no two vehicles can have the same identification number. Describe an everyday situation between variables in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart/graph you might find related to CAD technologies or conventional drafting methods that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain, in detail, why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values, given the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
School of Business
1. Federal Tax Identification Number or Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique identifier for every business in the United States. Each business relating to its EIN would be a function because no two businesses can have the tax ID. Describe an everyday situation between variables in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart/graph you might find for a business that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain, in detail, why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values, given the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
School of Criminal Justice
1. Social security numbers (SSN) are unique identifiers for every person in the United States. Each person relating to their SSN would be a function because no two people can have the same SSN. Describe an everyday situation between variables in your field that is a function. Be sure to explain exactly why the situation is a function.
2. Describe a chart or graph you might find depicting crime that fits the criteria for the graph of a function. Make sure to explain, in detail, why the graph fits the criteria.
3. For any given equation of a function, how do you determine if the function is even, odd, or neither?
4. For any given graph of a function, explain how to find its domain.
5. Find the values, given the following functions:
f(x) = 3x2 - 2x - 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4
a. f(0)
b. f(x + 3)
c. f(x) + g(x)
d. f(g(x))
