\(x\) 4 6 9 6 \(y\) 1 3 5 8 - The graph shown. (1 point)
Question 2: Evaluate a quadratic (2 points)
Let \(f(x)=x^{2}-4x+1\). Find each value.
- \(f(-2)\) (1 point)
- \(f(5)\) (1 point)
Question 3: Evaluate and solve (2 points)
Let \(g(x)=-3x+8\).
- Find \(g(-4)\). (1 point)

Question 4: Read values from a graph (3 points)
The graph of a function \(f\) is shown.
- Find \(f(0)\). (1 point)
- Find \(f(1)\). (1 point)
- Find all values of \(x\) for which \(f(x)=0\). (1 point)
Question 5: Ticket profit (2 points)

- Find \(P(40)\) and explain what it means. (1 point)
- Find \(n\) when \(P(n)=0\) and explain what it means. (1 point)
Algebra 1 Functions Notation Test: questions 6–8
Question 6: Domain and range of a graph (3 points)
The graph of a function is a line segment. Its left endpoint is a closed point and its right endpoint is an open point.
- State the domain with an inequality. (1 point)
- State the range with an inequality. (1 point)
- Is the situation modeled by this graph discrete or continuous? Explain. (1 point)
Question 7: Notebook sale (2 points)
Notebooks cost \(\$2.50\) each. A student may buy 1 to 8 notebooks, so the cost is \(N(k)=2.5k\).
- State the domain. (1 point)

- Find \(h(3)\). (1 point)
- Find \(h(4)\) and explain what it means. (1 point)
- State a reasonable domain and range for this situation. (1 point)
