Represent Real Life Situations Using Functions, Including Piecewise Functions

Here are two examples of real-world scenarios that can be modeled by a linear function: 1. The salary of an employee increases by $1000 each year. This can be modeled by a linear function of the form S(x) = 1000x + Starting Salary, where x is the number of years worked. 2. The distance traveled by a car moving at a constant speed can be modeled by a linear function of the form D(t) = Speed x Time, where D is the distance, t is the time, and Speed is treated as a constant.

Questions:
1.What happen to the raw materials after it is inserted to the
machine?

2. What is a function?

3. How do the input and output are related to domain and range of a
function?
A mathematical relation is the pairing up
(mapping) of inputs and outputs.

• Domain: the set of all input values

• Range: the set of all output values
A function is rule of
correspondence Relations
between two nonempty
sets, such that, to each
element of the first set Functions
called domain, there
corresponds one and
only one element of the
second set called range
one-to-one many-to-one

Determine if the following relations are functions.
1. {(1, -2), (-2, 0), (-1, 2), (-3, 3)}
function one-to-one
2. {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 5), (4, 3), (5, 2)}
function many-to-one
3. {(6, 3), (7, 2), (6, 1), (7, 4), (6, 0)}
relation one-to-many
Vertical Line Test
A graph represents a
function if and only if
each vertical line
intersects the graph
at most once.

Which sets of ordered pairs represent functions?
1. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (5, 6)}
2. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5)}
3. {(1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1)}
4. {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5)}
Give a function C that can represent to cost of
buying x meals, I one meal costs ₱40.

𝐶 𝑥 = 40𝑥
One hundred meters of fencing is available to
enclose a rectangular area next to a river. Give a
function A that represent the area that can be
enclosed, in terms of x.
Piecewise function a function defined
by multiple sub-functions, each sub-
function applying to a certain interval
of the main function's domain, a sub-
domain.
A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a particular
mobile plan, which includes 100 free text
messages. Messages in excess of 100 are
charged ₱1 each. Represent the amount a
consumer pays each month as a function of the
number of messages m sent in a month.
A videoke machine can be rented for ₱1,000 for
three days, but for the fourth day onwards, an
additional cost of ₱400 per day is added.
Represent the cost of renting a videoke machine
as a piecewise function of the number of days it
is rented.
1. Provide two real-world example or scenario
that can be expressed as a relation that is not
a function.
2. Provide two real-world scenario that can be
modeled by a linear function.
The cost of hiring a catering service to serve
food for a party is ₱150 per head for 20 persons
or less, ₱130 per head for 21 to 50 persons, and
₱110 per head for 51 t0 100 persons. For 100
more persons, the cost is at ₱100 per head.
Represent the total cost as a piecewise function
of the number of attendees of the party.
