II. PRE-ASSESSMENTS

Maria rides a jeepney to go to the market which is 14 km away from her

house. The fare rate for the jeepney ride is ₱8.00 for the first 4 km and an
additional ₱1.40 for every kilometre or a fraction of it thereafter.

Questions:

1. What mathematical model can be drawn out from the given situation?
2. How much will she pay she reaches the market?
III. DISCUSSION
LESSON 1:
What is the difference between a function and a relation?

Ordered Pairs
 It is a pair of numbers or coordinates arranged according to
their position in the number line. They are usually enclosed
with a parentheses.

Example: (-1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 7)

What is a table of values?

 A table of values is commonly observed when describing

a function.
 This shows the correspondence between a set of values
of x and a set of values of y in a tabular form.
 What is a vertical line test?
The vertical line test for a function states that if each vertical line intersects a
graph in the x-y plane at exactly one point, then the graph illustrates a function.

Example:
1. Give a function C that can represents the cost of buying x
meal costs ₱40.00.
Solution:
Since each meal costs ₱40.00, then the cost function is
C(x) = 40x.
 Piece-wise Functions
Is a function whose definition involve more than one formula.

EXAMPLE:
A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a particular mobile plan,
which includes 100 free text messages. Messages in excess of 100
are charged P1 each. Represent the amount a consumer pays each
month as a function of the number of messages 𝑚 sent in a month.

Solution.
Let t(m) represent the amount paid by the consumer each month. It
can be expressed by the piecewise function

300
𝑡(𝑚) = { If 0 < 𝑚 ≤ 100
300+𝑚
If 𝑚 > 100

Lesson 2:

It is the process of determining the value of the function at the

number assigned to a given variable.
EXAMPLE:
Evaluate the following functions at 𝑥 = 1.5:
(a) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1
(b) 𝑞(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 2
(c) 𝑔(𝑥) = √𝑥 + 1
2𝑥+1
(d) 𝑟(𝑥) =
𝑥−1

Solution.
Substituting 1.5 for 𝑥 in the functions, we have
(a) 𝑓(1.5) = 2(1.5) + 1 = 4
(b) 𝑞(1.5) = (1.5)2 − 2(1.5) + 2 = 2.25 − 3 + 2 = 1.25
(c) 𝑔(1.5) = √(1.5) + 1 = √2.5
2(1.5)+1 3+1
(d) 𝑟(1.5) = = =8
(1.5)−1 0.5

1. Addition of Functions
Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be any two functions.
The sum denoted by 𝑓 + 𝑔, is the function defined by: (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)

Example
If 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 − 2 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3,
find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥 ).
Solution:
(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑔(𝑥 )
= (3𝑥 − 2) + (𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3)
= 3𝑥 − 2 + 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3
= 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 − 5
2. Subtraction of Functions

Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be any two functions.

The difference, denoted by 𝒇 − 𝒈, is the function defined by:
(𝑓 − 𝑔) = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) − 𝑔(𝑥 )

Example
If 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 5 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 5𝑥 + 4,
find (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥 ).
Solution:
(𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥 ) − 𝑔(𝑥 )
= (𝑥 2 − 5) − (5𝑥 + 4)
= 𝑥 2 − 5 − 5𝑥 − 4
= 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 − 9
2. Multiplication of Functions

Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be any two functions.

The product, denoted by 𝒇 . 𝒈, is the function defined by:
(𝑓 . 𝑔) = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) . 𝑔(𝑥 )

Example
If 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 3𝑥 − 2 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3,
find (𝑓𝑔)(𝑥 ).
Solution:
(𝑓𝑔)(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥 ). 𝑔(𝑥 )
= (3𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3)
= 3𝑥 (𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3) − 2(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3)
= 3𝑥 3 + 6𝑥 2 − 9𝑥 − 2𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 6
= 3𝑥 3 + 4𝑥 2 − 13𝑥 + 6

4. Division of Functions
Let 𝑓 and 𝑔 be any two functions.
𝒇
The quotient, denoted is the function defined as:
𝒈
𝒇 𝒇(𝒙)
where 𝒇(𝒙) ≠ 𝟎. (𝒙) =
𝒈 𝒈(𝒙)
Example:
If 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 + 3 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 3,
𝑓
find ( ) (𝑥 ).
𝑔
Solution:
𝑓 𝑥+3
( ) (𝑥 ) =
𝑔 𝑥 2 +2𝑥−3
𝑥+3
=
(𝑥−1)(𝑥+3)
1
=
𝑥−1
5. Composition of Functions
Let 𝒇 and 𝒈 be functions. The composite function,
denoted by 𝑓 ◦ 𝑔,
is defined by:
(𝒇 ◦ 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒈(𝒙))
The process of obtaining a composite function is called
function composition.

Example:
Given 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 4 𝑥 − 5 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 4,
find 𝑓 ◦ 𝑔(𝑥 ).
Solution:
𝑓(𝑥 ) = 4𝑥 − 5
𝑓 ◦ 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 4(𝑔(𝑥 )) − 5
= 4(𝑥 2 + 4) − 5
= 4𝑥 2 + 16 − 5
= 4𝑥 2 + 11
