Evaluating Functions

The document discusses evaluating functions by replacing the variable with a value and computing the result. It provides 12 examples of evaluating different functions using given x-values. The examples represent real-life situations like renting a canoe, costs for a math club trip, car payments, bike rentals, and ticket sales. Evaluating a function f(x) means replacing x with a number to determine the output value based on the given inputs in the function.

EVALUATING

FUNCTIONS

1
Desired Learning Outcomes :
After the discussion, the students
would be able to:
•Define evaluating functions,
•Evaluate functions, and

•Represents real-life situations using functions.

2
Evaluating Function
Means replacing the variable in the
function, in this case X, with a value
from the function’s domain and
computing the result. To denote that we
are evaluating f at a for some a in the
domain of f, we write f(a).

3
Example 1.
 Evaluate the function using x = 1.

f(x) = x+1
= 1+1
= 2.

4
Example 2.
 Evaluate the function using X = 1.

g(x) = 2x+1
= 2(1)+1
= 2+1
= 3.

5
Example 3.
 Evaluate the function using x = 2.

= 4+4+1

= 9.

6
Example 4.
 Evaluate the function using x = 3.

= 2(9)-15+2
= 18-15+2

= 5.
7
Example 5.
 Evaluate the function using x = 2.

= 3.

8
Example 6.
 Evaluate the function using x = 2.

= 3.

9
Example 7.
 Evaluate the function using x = 3.

= 11.

10
Example 8. Word Problem.
Renting a canoe costs $10 plus $28 per day, which
is expressed as f(x) = 28x+10. What does the 3 in
f(3) represent? Then find f(3).
Solution.
f(3) = 28(3)+10
= 84+10 F(3) means how many
days the canoe was
= 94. rented.
Therefore, it will cost $94 for renting
the canoe for 3 days.

11
Example 9.
The math club goes to an amusement park. Student
tickets cost $10 each. Teachers go for free. The bus cost
$28. This is expressed as f(x)=10x+28. Find f(4) and
explain what it means.
Solution.
f(4)=10(4)+28
F(4) means there are
=40+28 4 members of
= 68. students in math
club.
Therefore the total cost of tickets and a bus is
$68.
12
Example 10.
 A car is listed for sale with monthly payments of $309, and
a down payment of $3200. This is expressed as
f(x)=309x+3200. Find F(11) and explain what it means.
Solution.
f(11)=309(11)+3200
F(11) means the car is
=3399+3200 11 months to pay.
= 6599.
Therefore the total cost of a car is $6599.

13
Example 11.
 Renting a bike costs $15 per hour, plus $10
insurance. This is expressed as f(x)=15x+10. Find
f(5) and explain what is means.
Solution.
f(5) = 15(5)+10 f(5) means the bike
was rented for 5
= 75+10 hours.
= 85.
Therefore the total costs for
renting a bike for 5 hours is $85.
14
Example 12.
 A concert is $250 per ticket and the cost of
parking is free. This is expressed as f(x)=250x.
Find f(24) and explain what it represents.

Solution.
f(24) = 250(24) f(24) means there are
24 tickets sold for a
= 6,000. concert.

Therefore the total amount sold


for tickets is $6000.
