TEST II. Directions: Tell whether the following statements are true or false.

1. The independent variable depends on the dependent variable.

2. The dependent variable changes only in response to the independent variable

2X
the denominator zero.

1
9. In a rational function, 𝑓(𝑥) = , the range is the set of real numbers except zero.
2X
10. To find the domain of a function described by the graph, we look vertically up and down, look for breaks or gaps
on the graph, where it begins and where it ends.
 MATH 8 –FUNCTION and RELATION ---- PERFORMANCE TASKS (50%)
There are many real-life problems that can be solved through linear function. In solving problems, we can
use Polya’s method introduced by George Polya. George Polya is a Hungarian-American mathematics
educator who believed that problem solving was an art and the skills to solve math problems can be
mastered with constant practice. Polya’s Method includes the following steps:
Steps in Solving Word Problems:
1. Understand the problem. Read and analyze the situation.
2. Devise a plan. List down all the given data. Determine the unknown and what is asked in the
problem.
3. Carry out the plan. Write the function that describes the relationship between the variables and
solve the function.
4. Look back. Verify if the solution obtained is meaningful to the problem solved.
Illustrative Examples
1. Mark works as a service crew in a fast food center where he earns Php45.00 per hour. How much will he
earn in a day if he works for 6 hours?
Solution.
Step 1. Understand the problem.
Given: Mark earnsPhp45.00 per hour as a service crew
Asked: The amount Mark will earn in a day after working 6 hours

Independent variable: no. of hours rendered

Dependent variable: amount earned in a day

Step 2. Devise a plan.

Using the information above, a linear function can be modelled to show the amount earned,
expressed as 𝑓(𝑥), for a number of hours rendered, expressed as (𝑥).

The rate of change (m) in the problem is Php45 and the y-intercept b is 0 which means the function
will be 𝑓(𝑥)=45x+0 or f(x) =45x.

Step 3. Carry out the plan.

To solve for the amount of earning, f(x), given that he will work for 6 hours, x=6, we have:

Step 4. Look Back

To verify your answer, just substitute the value of 𝑥 and 𝑓(𝑥) in the function.

Therefore, Mark will be earning Php270.00 after 6 hours.
