Relations Functions Module
Relations Functions Module
II. OBJECTIVES: At the end of this module, the learners will be able to: 1.
Differentiate a relation from a function; 2. Write functions based on real-life
situations; 3. Illustrate and evaluate piecewise functions; 4. Solve application
problems involving functions and piecewise functions.
V. WHAT TO UNDERSTAND
PIECEWISE FUNCTIONS A piecewise function uses different formulas for
different values of x.
1. Mobile Text Plan t(m) = { 250, if m ≤ 200 250 + (m - 200), if m > 200 }
Example: 215 messages = 250 + (215 - 200) = 250 + 15 = Php265
2. Chocolate Price C(n) = { 50n, if n ≤ 5 48n, if n > 5 }
Example: 6 chocolates = 48 × 6 = Php288
3. Catering Service C(p) = { 250p, if p ≤ 50 200p, if 51 ≤ p ≤ 100 150p, if
p > 100 }
Example: 75 guests = 200 × 75 = Php15,000
