Lesson 4: Solving Real-Life Problems
Involving Functions Week 1 Learning Competency: › The learner solves problems involving functions. M11GM-Ia-4 Lesson Outline: 1. represent situations as functions and evaluate functions to determine the required quantity 2. apply concepts learned in solving real-life problems involving functions 3. solve problems involving functions Think About This › Majority of the problems we encounter in real life situation involve relationship between two quantities where one quantity depends on another. › For example, personnel in Department of Health observes the number of persons infected by a particular virus in a certain community increases with time. › In finding out the exact function relating to the number of persons infected to time, modelling can be used. › Once the model is determined solving and predicting the properties of the subject being studied can be done. › At this point we will focus on solving in order for us to predict answer to existing problems. Examples: 1. Write a function C that represent the cost of buying x facemask, if a facemask cost ₱65.00. › C(x) = 65x 2. A commuter pays ₱ 9.00 for a jeepney fare for the first 5 km and an additional ₱ 0.75 for every succeeding distance d in kilometer. Represent the situation as function. › Example no. 1 A proposed Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) fare would charge ₱18.00 for the first four stations and ₱5.00 for each additional station over the proposed fare. a. Find the fare function f(x) where x represents the number of stations traveled? b. Find the proposed fare for 15 stations? c. Find the proposed fare for 20 stations? Example no. 1 A proposed Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) fare would charge ₱18.00 for the first four stations and ₱5.00 for each additional station over the proposed fare. a.

Example no. 1 A proposed Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) fare would charge ₱18.00 for the first four stations and ₱5.00 for each additional station over the proposed fare. a. Find the fare function f(x) where x represents the number of stations traveled? b. Find the proposed fare for 15 stations? c. Find the proposed fare for 20 stations? Example 2: Lucena Network charges ₱450.00 monthly cable connection fee plus ₱130.00 for each hour of pay-per-view (PPV) event regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour. a. Find payment function f(x) where x represents the number of PPV hours. b. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours of PPV events? c. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour of PPV events? Example 2: Lucena Network charges ₱450.00 monthly cable connection fee plus ₱130.00 for each hour of pay-per-view (PPV) event regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour. a.
