Problem of the Day
Take the first 20 terms of the geometric
sequence 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . .Why
can’t you put those 20 numbers into two
groups such that each group has the
same sum?
All the numbers except 1 are even, so
the sum of the 20 numbers is odd and
cannot be divided into two equal integer
sums.

Course 3
13-4 Linear Functions
A linear function can be described by a linear
equation. You can use function notation to
show that the output value of the function f,
written f(x), corresponds to the input value x.
Reading Math
f(x) is read “f of x.”
f(1)is read “f of 1.”
The graph of a linear function is a line. The
linear function f(x) = mx +b has a slope of m
and a y-intercept of b.

Additional Example 2A: Writing the Equation for a
Linear Function
Write a rule for the linear function.
Step 1 Identify the y-intercept
b from the graph.
b=2
Step 2 Locate another point
on the graph, such as (1, 4).
Step 3 Substitute the x- and
y-values of the point into the
equation, f(x) = mx + b, and
solve for m.

Example 3: Money Application
A video club cost $15 to join. Each video that
is rented costs $1.50. Find a rule for the linear
function that describes the total cost of
renting videos as a member of the club, and
find the total cost of renting 12 videos.
f(x) = mx + 15
The y-intercept is the cost to join, $15.
16.5 = m(1) + 15 With 1 rental the cost will be $16.50.
16.5 = m + 15
The rule for the function is f(x) =
–15
– 15
1.5x + 15. After 12 video rentals, the
1.5 = m
Course 3
cost will be f(12) = 1.5(12) + 15 =
18 + 15 = $33.

Check It Out: Example 3
A book club has a membership fee of $20. Each
book purchased costs $2. Find a rule for the linear
function that describes the total cost of buying
books as a member of the club, and find the total
cost of buying 10 books.
f(x) = mx + 20
The y-intercept is the cost to join, $20.
With 1 book purchase the cost will be
22 = m(1) + 20
$22.
22 = m + 20
The rule for the function is
–20
– 20
f(x) = 2x + 20. After 10 books
2=m
purchases, the cost will be
f(10) = 2(10) + 20 = 20 + 20 = $40.
