already tired. Give yourself time to relax.
Introduction
Function is said to be the central idea in the study of mathematics. In many situations,
there is a mathematical function in which one quality according to some definite rule.
Physical situations and number patterns can be represented by tables, graphs, verbal
rules and equations where their interrelationship can be studied and analyzed (Bernabe, 2006).
Challenge Yourself!
DO YOU KNOW ME?
Determine whether or not each relation is a function. Rest a check (✓) on the space that
corresponds your answer

REVIEW OF THE PAST LESSON
To prepare you for the topic, let us go back a little bit on the following lessons:
Relations and Functions
3
Lesson 1: Functions as representations of real-life situations
Functions can often be used to model real situations. Identifying an appropriate
functional model will lead to a better understanding of various phenomena.

Activity: Try Me!
Lesson 2: Evaluating Functions
Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the function, in this case x, with a
value from the function’s domain and computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating
𝑓 at 𝑎 for some 𝑎 in the domain of 𝑓, we write (𝑎).
If one thinks of the function machine, evaluating a function is similar to providing our
machines with a valid input
To evaluate a function, we should:
directly replace the indicated value to the given function;
perform the indicated operation; and
simplify the answer.

Lesson 3: Operations on Functions
The important concept that we need to understand in this lesson is that adding,
subtracting and multiplying two or more functions together will result in another function.
Dividing two functions together will also result in another function if the denominator or divisor
is not the zero function.

Composition of Function

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 experienced solving real-life problems involving functions.
The four steps that can be used to solve verbal problems are listed below.
1. READ the problem. To solve a verbal problem, first read the problem carefully and explore
what the problem is about.
9
Identify what information is given.
Identify what you are asked to find.
Choose a variable to represent one of the unspecified numbers in the problem
2. PLAN the solution. After defining the variable, find a word sentence to suggest an equation
for the number (s). Use the expressions to replace the world sentence by an equation.
3. SOLVE the problem. To solve the equation, familiarize yourself with the properties of
equality- addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. To simplify, use PEMDAS rule for
series of operations.
4. EXAMINE the solution if necessary. Use the solution of the equation to write a statement
that settles the problem. Check that the conclusion agrees with the problem situation or
satisfies all conditions of the problems. If the conclusions do not “check”, it is good to rework
the problem.
