options: Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ³ 1.
problem_activity: Problem 1
You are selling cookies for a fundraiser. You have a total of 25 boxes to sell, and you make a profit of $2 on each box. The profit you make
$${p(n)}$$
is a function of the number of boxes you sell,
$$n$$
.
a.   Write an equation that represents this function, in function notation.
b.   Describe the domain of this function. Then write an inequality to represent the domain.
c.   Describe the range of this function.
