LP Evaluating Functions
2. Review (5 mins)
GRADE 10’s BLUFF
Questions:
1. What is a function?
2. Is g = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), 2, 6), (3, 7)} a function?
3. What is a relation?
4. What is the domain of the function y = 2x + 1?
Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the function with a value
from the function’s domain and computing for the result. To denote that we are
evaluating f at x for some x in the domain of f, we write f(x).
Examples:
1. Let f(x) = 3x – 2, find the following:
a. f(0)
b. f(5)
c. f(-2)
Solution:
a. f(0) = 3(0) – 2 = –2
b. f(5) = 3(5) – 2 = 15 – 2 = 13
c. f(-2) = 3(–2) – 2 = –6 – 2 = –8
Solution:
h(x) = 10x + 5
h(3) = 10(3) + 5
h(3) = 30 + 5
h(3) = 35

C. Activity (8 mins)
Divide the class into five groups consisting of advanced, average, and struggling
learners.
Directions: Each group will answer the given items and the guide questions.
Every group member must answer first the questions in their notebook.
Members of the group can help each other in answering and will write
their final group answer in manila paper. The first group to finish will get
a prize.
Answer the following:
1. Evaluate the following functions at x = 4.
a. f(x) = x – 4
b. g(x) = x2 – 3x + 6
2 x +2
c. h(x) =
3
2. Jose loves to ride on his motorcycle. One day he decided to travel on a certain
speed (in km per hour) and the distance travelled is given by d(x) = 3x + 14,
where x is the number of hours. How far did Jose travel after 3 hours?
Guide Questions:
1. What are the steps that you have done in evaluating the given functions?
2. How did you solve word problems involving functions?
Generalization:
How do you evaluate functions?
How do you solve word problems involving functions?
To evaluate functions, just replace all the values of x in the equation and simplify.
To solve word problems involving functions, follow the following steps:
Step 1: Know what is asked in the problem.
Step 2: Identify the given.
Step 3: Solve.
Step 4: Review or Check and Interpret.

Julie loves to collect varieties of flowering plants. With the limited space she had
in her backyard, she decided to sell her plants. The profit in pesos she had in selling the
plants is given by the function f(x) = 2x + 180, where x is the number of plants sold. How
much is the profit of Julie if she sold 10 plants? 15 plants?
