Warm-up

Driving the Distance

Here is a graph of the amount of gas burned during a trip by a tractor-trailer truck as it drives at a constant speed down a highway:

Coordinate plane, horizontal, distance traveled, miles, 0 to 240 by 40, vertical, gas burned, gallons, 0 10 100 by 10. Straight line from origin through 80 comma 10, 240 comma 30.

At the end of the trip, how far did the truck drive, and how much gas did it use?
If a truck traveled half this distance at the same rate, how much gas would it use?
If a truck traveled double this distance at the same rate, how much gas would it use?
Complete the sentence: is a function of .

Student Lesson Summary

Imagine a cylinder with a radius of 5 cm that is being filled with water. As the height of the water increases, the volume of water increases.

We say that the volume of the water in the cylinder, , depends on the height of the water, . We can represent this relationship with an equation: , or .

This equation represents a proportional relationship between the height and the volume. We can use this equation to understand how the volume changes when the height is tripled.

Two identical cylinders. First has radius 5 and water level height, h. Second has radius, 5, and water level height, 3 h.

The new volume would be , which is precisely 3 times as much as the old volume of . In general, when one quantity in a proportional relationship changes by a given factor, the other quantity changes by the same factor.

Remember that proportional relationships are examples of linear relationships, which can also be thought of as functions. So in this example, , the volume of water in the cylinder, is a function of the height, , of the water.
