new lesson
Good day, students! I hope that you are all doing well.
Today, we will be learning the first topic in General
Mathematics 11. This is about the key concepts of functions
and relations along with how functions are being
represented in real-life situations.
Are you ready to delve into this topic? Yes, Sir. We are ready!
Very good! Since the domains of all set of ordered pairs are
unique, we can say that A, B, C are all functions.
D. Discussing new Relation
concepts and practicing is a rule that relates values from a set of values
new skills #1 (called the domain) to a second set of values (called
E. Discussing new the range).
concepts and practicing The elements of the domain can be imagined as input
new skills #2 to a machine that applies a rule to these inputs to
generate one or more outputs.
Example: {(1,1),(2,3)(3,5),(4,7),(5,9)}
The set of all first coordinates is the domain ( x ), of the
relation. The set of all second coordinates is the range
( y ) of the relation.
Domain ( x ): {1,2,3,4,5} - also called as input
Range ( y ): {1,3,5,7,9} - also called as output
Aside from ordered pair, a relation can also be
represented in three (3) different ways:
Kinds of Relations
A relation may be classified as one-to-one, many-to-one, or
one-to-many. It is one-to-one relation if every element in the
domain is mapped to a unique element in the range, many-
to-one if two or more elements in the domain are mapped to
only one element in the range, one-to-many if each element
in the domain is mapped to any two or more elements in the
range.
One-to-one {(1,1),(2,3),(3,5),(4,7).(5,9)}
One-to-many {(1,1),(1,3),(3,5),(3,7),(3,9)}
Many-to-one {(1,1),(3,1),(5,1),(7,5),(9,5)}
How do we verify if a given relation is a function? The domain ( x ) should be paired to exactly
one range ( y ). Meaning, the x values
should not be repeatedly paired to the y
values.
Function
is a relation where each element in the domain is
related to only one value in the range by some rule.
Example: {(1,1),(2,3)(3,5),(4,7),(5,9)}

Muslim:
Solution: Since each meal costs ₱40, then the cost function
is C (x)=40 x .
{
t (m)= 300 if 0<m≤ 100
300+ mif m>100
Example 3:
A jeepney ride costs ₱8 for the first 4 kilometers, and each
additional integer kilometer adds ₱1.50 to the fare. Use a
piece-wise function to represent the jeepney fare in terms of
distance d in kilometers.
Solution:
The input value is distance and the output is the cost of the
jeepney fare. If F (d ) represents the fare as a function of
distance, the function can be represented as follows:
F (d )=
{8+1.5(d)if
8 if 0< d ≤ 4
d >4
Independent Practice 2:
Rica rides through a jeepney which charges ₱9 for the first
5 kilometers and additional ₱0.50 for each additional
kilometer. Expressthe jeepney fare (F) as a function of the
number of kilometers (d) that Rica pays for the ride.
Answer: F (d )=¿ ¿
Answer: F (d )= {9+0.5(d)if
9 if 0< d ≤ 5
d >5
G. Finding practical
applications of concepts G. Practical Application
and skills in daily living
H. Making generalizations Relations and functions can be applied in the real-life
and abstractions about context. Some of these are the following:
the lesson
A muslim marrying more than one wife.
A LBNHS student to LRN number
A child with his/her biological mother.
H. Generalizations
Based on our discussion today,
4. A computer shop charges ₱15 in every hour of computer rental. Represent your computer rental fee (R)
using the function R(t ) where t is the number of hours you spent on the computer.
A. R(t )=15 t
B. R(t )=15 t+t
C. R(t )=15 t+ 0.5(t)
D. R(t )=15
5. Why is it important to reflect on the relevance of functions and relations to real-life situations?
A. It helps in understanding abstract mathematical concepts better.
B. It enables the practical application of mathematical theories in everyday problems.
C. It improves problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
D. All of the above.
J. Additional activities for Assignment:

remediation At home or in your community, look and think for at least one situation that could represent function. From the
identified situation, write a sample problem and its corresponding function equation.
