I- Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
1. Identifies real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise
functions;;
2. Represents real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise
functions;
3. Appreciates the use of functions in representing real-life situations.

III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

A. Preliminary Activities
1. Greetings
“Good morning Class!!” How’s your Good Morning Mam.
day? Yesterday was fun!

2. Prayer
Okay! Very Good!! Sarah, can you Of Course Mam! (Prayer)
please lead the prayer?

3. Checking of Attendance Present!

So now, we will be Checking our
Attendance.

4. Online Class Rules

Okay since, every one is here and present, Okay Mam. Understood!
I would like to read our Classroom Rules!.

5. Review
Review the concept of Functions introduced in
the Junior High School.
• Relations and Functions
• The Function as a machine I mam!!!
• Functions and relations as a set of ordered

pairs, table of values, graph in the Cartesian

Plane
• Vertical Line Test

1. Which of these machines, if you know the

input , can you determine a single or
unique output? (expected answers: a, c, d,
and f of the presented function machines).
Have the class explain why. Ask why e) is
not part of this list. Introduce the term
function to describe these machines.
2. Which of these machines, if the output is
known, can you determine a single or
unique input? (The answers should be (d)
and (f).
3. Suppose we connect machine (a) to
machine (c) such that the output of (a)
becomes the input of (c).

Very good.

B. AWARENESS

Functions can often be used to model real-

life situations.
Present to the class the problem below.
Give a function C that can represent the
cost of buying x meals, if one meal costs
₱40.
Solution: Since each meal costs ₱40, then
the cost function is .
1. The group that will have the highest score
will be the winner.

Proceed to show another scenario as shown

below:
 One hundred meters of fencing is available to
enclose a rectangular area next to a river. Give
a function A that can represent the area that Solution: The area of the rectangular
can be or enclosed, in terms of x. (See TG, enclosure is . We will write this
as a function of x. Since only 100 m of
fencing is available, then or

. Thus,

C. ACTIVITY .

Say: Some situations can only be described by

more than one formula, depending on the value
of the independent variable.
1. A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a particular
mobile plan, which includes 100 free text Answer: No, there are 2 formulas or
messages. Messages in excess of 100 are charged equations that could be derived from the

Ask: Is it possible to describe the problem function. We can describe such function
with one formula or equation only? Justify as a function defined on a sequence of
your answer. intervals.
Solution: Let represent the amount
paid by the consumer each month. It can
be expressed by the piecewise function.
D. ANALYSIS

Contaminated water is subjected to a cleaning

process. The concentration of
pollutants is initially 10 mg per liter of water. If
the cleaning process can reduce the pollutant by
5% each hour, define a function that can
represent the concentration of pollutants in the
water in terms of the number of hours that the Solution.
cleaning process has taken place. The length and width of the box are 8
–2x and 5 –2x, respectively. Its height
After 1 hour, the concentration of pollutants is is x. Thus, the volume of the box can
(10)*(0.95). After 2 hours, it is this value, times be represented by the function
0.95, or [(10)*(0.95)](0.95) = 10(0.95)2. In general, V(x) = (8 –2x)(5 –2x)x = 40x –
after t hours, the concentration is C(t) = (10)(0.95)t 26 x 2+ 4 x 3
mg per liter of water.
2. Squares of side x are cut from each corner of
an (8in x 5in) rectangle (see figure), so that its
sides can be folded to make a box with no
top. Define a
function in terms of x that can represent the
volume of this box.

E. ABSTRACTION

Give examples of real-life situations which can be

represented by relations.

a. A relation but not a function

Example: Destination versus tricycle fare: For P15
you can go anywhere within 3 kilometers.
b. a linear function
Example: Distance versus time if traveling at a
constant speed

Functions can often be used to model real

situations. Identifying an appropriate functional
model will lead to a better understanding of
various phenomena.

Divide the class into 5 groups, preferably with 6-8

members. Then, call two group volunteers to
discuss their answers. A rubric may be used to
check the groups’ answers
