Linear and Quadratic Functions
Objectives:
a. Formulate real-life problems involving linear and quadratic functions
using variety of strategies.
b. Solve real-life problems involving linear and quadratic functions.
c. Show teamwork and collaboration during the activity.

Task descriptions:
Groupwork
Group the class into 4 members per group and let them formulate their
own real-life problems regarding linear and quadratic functions through an
Activity Game Plan. The group will choose their respective game plans. After
the development of the game plan, you will be exchanging with the game plans
of other groups. You will also be solving the activity game plan which has
landed your group.
Below is a sample given on which the students could make. For example,
the activity game plan entitled, “Finding the Mystery in the Boxes”. Put on a
short bond paper.
 Finding the Mystery in the Boxes

Answer the following questions, then find your answer on the choices below.
Write the letter of your answer on the corresponding boxes. (1point each)
1. A farmer has 80 m of fencing material to fence a rectangular field bordered
on one side by a river. The area of the field is 750 m^2. If the farmer leaves
the side along the river open, find the dimensions of the rectangular field.
2. Allan can finish a painting job 2 days longer than Ben. Working together,
they can finish the job in 2.4 days. How many days will it take Allan to do
the job?
3. As you go deeper into the interior of the earth, the temperature of the earth’s
crust is a function of the distance below the surface. If the temperature T is
in degrees Celsius and the distance below the earth’s surface (or depth) d is
in kilometers, the function is defined as T=f(d)=10d +20
Evaluate f (5).
4. The ideal weight w (in pounds) of a person is a function of his/her height h
(in inches). This function is defined by the equation w(h)=5h-190. If a man is
70 inches tall, what should his weight be?
5. An object, dropped from a tall building reached the ground after 2s. How tall
is the building?
6. A ball is thrown downward from a height of 30 m with an initial velocity of
10 m/s. After how many seconds did it reach the ground?
7. The owner of a rectangular residential lot wants to build a wall along the
three sides of the lot using 80m of concrete materials. Find the dimensions
of the lot that will give a maximum area A.
8. The length of the rectangular field is three more than twice its width. If the
perimeter of the rectangular field is 1000 m, find the width.
9. Mr. Flores charges P5 for the use of telephone for the first 3 minutes and P2
per minute thereafter. If Ana uses the telephone for 10 minutes, how much
must she pay?
10.The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is related to the temperature in
degrees Celsius by the relation C(x)=5/9(x-32). Find C (50).
11. The length of a rectangular box is 6 inches more than its width. Its area is
112 in^2. Find its length.
12.The ideal weight (in lb) of a person is a function of his/her height (in inches).
This function is defined by the equation w(h)=5h-190. If a woman weighs
130 lb, what should her weight be?
13.The length of the rectangular box is two more than twice its width. Express
this statement of the length as a function of the width.
14.The length of a rectangular piece of paper is twice its width. If the area of
the piece of paper is 128cm^2, find its length.
15.A parking lot charges P25 for the first hour of parking plus P10 per
additional hour. If parking fee is linear, how much should be paid for a car
that has been parked for 4h.
16.The length l of a rectangular lot is a function of the width x in the equation
l(x)=3x+4. Find the length if the width is 2m.
17.In the number 16, Find the width if the length is 19m.
18.A taxicab driver charges P30 for the first 5km and an additional P2.50 for
each succeeding kilometer. How much does a passenger pay if the taxicab
covers distance of 30km?
