MATHEMATICS
TEACHER’S NAME:
PRAYER
Lord, we offer to you our class today. We pray that through your Divine
Guidance, we would learn how to listen attentively to the inputs of our teacher.
May we appreciate his/her effort in imparting his/her knowledge to us. May we
participate actively in the discussions and activities, so we could learn more while
having fun. May we value each other’s contributions as a building block towards
harmony and peace. Grant that as we interact with one another, we recognize the
fact that all our learning activities should be accomplished for your greater glory.
Grant that we recognize YOU in each of our classmates and teachers. And we
would be able to apply correctly what we have learned from school. All these we
ask in your powerful name.
Amen.
NETIQUETTE
• Wear your maroon/white shirt as scheduled.
• Be on time.
• Stay focused on the class discussion.
• Be respectful at all times.
• Turn on your camera so that your teacher can see you.
• Mute your audio/microphone unless your name is called.
• When speaking, say your name first so everyone in the room knows who is talking.
• If you have questions, use the "raise your hand" button or type it on the chat box.
FUNCTIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the week, the students should be able to:
• define functions and relations;
• differentiate the different types of functions;
• determine the domain and range of functions;
• represent real-life situations using functions.
Represents Real-life Situations using
Functions, Including Piece-wise
Functions.
Representing Functions
Function Notation
Writing a function notation is the most common way of
representing a function. This is just like an equation with the
symbol f(x) which represents the output.
Example:
f(x) = x + 2 , This is read “f of x equals x plus 2.”
Remember that f(x) is still the output (y). The notation simply means a
function named f will take x as its input.
Example 1:
Give a function C that can represent the cost of
buying x meals, if one meal costs ₱40.

𝑪 𝒙 = 𝟒𝟎𝒙
Example 2:
Write the function notation for the values in the
table: x f(x)
-3 -1
-2 0
-1 1
0 2
1 3
2 4
3 5
Example 2:
a. Give a function W in terms of x that represent the
rectangular garden that can be enclosed by 60m fencing.
Solution:
2x + 2y = 60
x + y = 30
y = 30 – x
𝑾 𝒙 = 𝟑𝟎 − 𝒙
Example 2:
b. Express the area of the rectangle in function A, in terms of
x.
Solution:
A = xy
𝐴 𝑥 = 𝑥(30 − 𝑥)
𝐴 𝑥 = 30𝑥 − 𝑥 2
𝑨 𝒙 = −𝒙𝟐 + 𝟑𝟎𝒙
Example 4:
One hundred meters of fencing
is available to enclose a
rectangular area next to a river
(see figure). Give a function A
that can represent the area that
can be enclosed, in terms of x.
Example 4:
Solution:
𝒙 + 𝟐𝒚 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎
𝒚 = 𝟓𝟎 − 𝟎. 𝟓𝒙
A = xy
𝐴 𝑥 = 𝑥(50 − 0.5𝑥)
𝐴 𝑥 = 50𝑥 − 0.5𝑥 2
𝑨 𝒙 = −𝟎. 𝟓𝒙𝟐 + 𝟓𝟎𝒙
Example 3:
A user is charged P300 monthly for a particular
mobile plan, which includes 100 free text
messages. Messages in excess of 100 are charged
P1 each. Represent the monthly cost for text
messaging using the function t(m), where m is the
number of messages sent in a month.
Example 5:
Answer:
300, 0 < 𝑚 ≤ 100
𝑡 𝑚 =ቊ
300 + (𝑚 − 100) , 𝑚 > 100
PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS
This is a type function which is broken down into smaller
‘pieces’ of functions - like a function made up of several
functions. These smaller functions are called subfunctions.
Each subfunction applies for a specific interval of x-values. If
an assigned value of x falls within the interval of a
subfunction, all the other subfunctions are disregarded. The
piecewise function is very distinct especially when graphed.
Example 4:
A jeepney ride costs P8.00 for the first 4
kilometers, and each additional integer
kilometer adds P1.50 to the fare. Use a
piecewise function to represent the jeepney
fare in terms of the distance(d) in kilometers.
Example 6:

Answer:
8, 0<𝑑≤4
𝑓 𝑑 =ቊ
8 + 1.5(𝑑 − 4) , 𝑑>4
Generalization
Generalization
• Functions are relations where each input
corresponds to only one output.
• The domain represents the input or the value that is
about to be “processed”. The range represents the
output or the “finished product”.
• We can say that functions mathematically represent
real-world situations.
