Objectives:
1. represent real-life situations
using functions, including piece-
wise functions
2. evaluate a function
Activity #1.
Determine whether or not
each relation is a function.
Rest a check on the space that
corresponds your answer.
Let’s us recall the definition of
relation and function.
 Relations and Functions
can be represented through:
1. Ordered Pairs
2. Table of Values
3. Equation/Function
4. Graph; and
5. Mapping
 3 Kinds of relations
One to One Relation
One to Many Relation
Many to One Relation
But? What kind of relation that will be
considered as function and not function?
Relations and Functions
Relations

It is a rule that relates values from a

1st set of values (called the domain) to a
second set of values (called the range).

The elements of the domain can be

imagined as input to a machine that
applies rule to these inputs to
generate one or more outputs.

It is a set of ordered pairs

(x, y).
Relations and Functions
Functions

It is a relation where each element in

the domain is related to only one
value in the range by some rule.

The elements of the domain can be

imagined as input to machine that
applies a rule so that each input
corresponds to only one output.

It is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) such

that no two ordered pairs have the
same x- value but different y- values.
 A function is a set of ordered pairs
(x,y) such that no two ordered pairs have
the same x- value but different y- values.
Using functional notation, we can
write f(x) = y read as “f of x is equal to
y”. In particular, if (1,2) is an ordered
pair associated with the function f, then
we say that f(x) = y becomes f(1) = 2.
Vertical Line Test
A graph represents a
function if and if only each
vertical line intersects the
graph at most 1.
1. Ordered Pairs
State the following if it is
function or not function.
Function Many to One

Not Function One to Many

Function One to One
2. Table of Values
State the following if it is
function or not function.
x 1 2 3 4
y 2 3 4 5
Function One to One

x 1 2 3 4
y 2 2 3 3
Function Many to One

x 1 1 3 3
y 2 3 4 5 Not Function One to Many
3. Mapping
State the following if it is
function or not function.

Function Function Not Function

One to One Many to One One to Many
4. Graph
State the following if it is
function or not function.

Function Function Not Function

One to One Many to One One to Many
Piecewise Function
or a compound function is a
function defined by multiple
subfunctions, where each subfunction
applies to a certain interval of the
main function’s domain.
Example

How to make
Piecewise Function
from a given word
problem?
1. A user is charged P 300 monthly for a
particular mobile plan, which include
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 (x) sent in a month.
ANSWER:
300, if 0 < x ≤ 100
f(x) =
300 + (x – 100), if x > 100
2. A jeepney ride costs P 8 for
the first 4 km, and each
additional km adds P 1.50 to the
fare. Use a piecewise function to
represent the jeepney fare in
terms of the distance (x) in km.
ANSWER:
8, if 0 < x ≤ 4
f(x) =
8 + 1.5(x – 4), if x > 4
Lesson 2. Evaluating a function
It means replacing the
variable in the functions, in this
case x, with the value from the
function’s domain and
computing for the result.
Example 1. f(x) = x2 +3x + 1
Evaluate the ff:
f(1)
2
Solution: f(1) = (1) + 3(1) + 1
= 1 + 3 +1
=5
Example 2. f(x) = 𝒙 + 𝟑
f(1)
Solution: f(1) = 𝟏 + 𝟑
= 𝟒
= ±𝟐
 𝟐𝒙+𝟏
Example 3. f(x) =
𝒙−𝟏
f(2)
𝟐(𝟐)+𝟏
Solution: f(2) =
𝟐−𝟏
𝟒+𝟏
=
𝟏
=5
Example 4. f(x) = 4x+1
f(3x-1)
Solution: f(3x-1) = 4(3x-1) +1
= 12x – 4 +1
= 12x -3
Example 5.
f(-5)
To evaluate the piecewise function, we should identify first
to which condition the given value belongs. Since -5
belongs to x ≤1, we will be using the first function, x2+2.
Solution: f(-5) = (-5)2 +2
= 25 +2
= 27
Example 6.
f(5)
To evaluate the piecewise function, we should identify first
to which condition the given value belongs. Since 5 belongs
to x > 1, we will be using the second function, I x-3 I.
Solution: f(5) = I 5 -3 I
=I2I
=2
Example .
f(1)
To evaluate the piecewise function, we should identify first
to which condition the given value belongs. Since 1 belongs
to x ≤1, we will be using the first function, x2+2.
Solution: f(1) = (1)2 +2
= 1 +2

 Lesson 4. Problem Solving Involving Functions

A problem is a situation in which we do not

have an immediate solution, we do not know
instantly how to solve it. We want or need to
solve it. In a mathematical problem, every
situation involves mathematical reasoning. It’s
time now for you to be exposed to the real
application of functions, to experience solving
real-life problems involving functions.
Solution:
Let f(x) = actual distance
Let x = distance measure on map representing the actual distance.
Since the distance measured on a map varies directly with the
actual distance, then f(x) = kx.
If x =1, then f(x) = f(1) = k(1) = 25
Hence, k = 25. Thus f(x) = 25x.
So, x = 7, then f(7) = 25(7) = 175

Therefore, a distance of 7 cm on the map is equivalent to an

actual distance of 175 km.
Solution:
Total savings
Let f(x) =
Let x = the number of weeks

Then, the equation is what? f(x) = 15x +50

If x = 5, then f(5) = 15(5) + 50
= 125
If x = 8, then f(8) = 15(8) + 50
= 170
Therefore, Hart’s money will become P 125.00 after 5 weeks and P
170.00 in 8 weeks.
Solution:
Let x = width
Let x + 4= length
Then, the equation is what? P = 2l + 2w
56 = 2 (x+4) + 2x
56 = 2x +8 +2x
Therefore, the width 56 = 4x + 8
of the rectangle is 12 56 - 8 = 4x
cm and the length is 48 = 4x
16cm 4x = 48
x = 12
Solution:
Let x = First integer
Let x + 2 = Second integer
Let x + 4 = Third integer
Then, the equation is what? x + x + 2 + x+ 4 = 237
3x +6 = 237
3x = 237 – 6
3x = 231
x = 77
Therefore, the 3 consecutive odd integers are? 77 79 81
