Task

Function Representations
In this activity, you will use multiple representations of relationships to identify key features
and solve problems.
Ryan conducted a 6-day study observing the effects of an organic plant food on the growth
of his sprouting bean plant. He tracked these two pieces of information:
the amount of plant food remaining in the container after each day’s feeding
the height of the plant over time

Part A
Ryan found that the amount of plant food remaining decreased an equal amount each day,
and he used the entire 72 milliliters by the end of his study.

Question 1

Question
Which statement is true about the relationship between the amount of plant food remaining
and the number of days?

This relationship is not a function because more than one amount of plant food remains
day.

This relationship is a function because only one amount of plant food remains each day.

This relationship is not a function because only one amount of plant food remains each d

This relationship is a function because more than one amount of plant food remains eac

Question 5

Question
What does the point represent?

the amount of plant food used each day

the initial amount of plant food

the length of time it takes for Ryan to use all the plant food

the length of time it takes for the height of the plant to reach 72 centimeters

Part B
Ryan also found that he could model the height of his plant with the equation h = 0.5d + 4,
where d is the number of days and h is the height in centimeters.

Question 1

Question
Which statement is true about the relationship between the height of the plant and the
number of days?

This relationship is not a function because the plant can only be one height at a time.

This relationship is a function because the plant can be more than one height at a time.

This relationship is a function because the plant can only be one height at a time.

This relationship is not a function because the plant can be more than one height at a
time.

Question 3

Question

The height of the plant is given by the equation h = 0.5d + 4. Rewrite this as a function rule
where f(x) is the height, in centimeters, and x is the time, in days. Use the rule to complete
the table, and then use the drawing tools to create the graph representing this relationship.
