Lesson 2 Functions As Representation of Real Life Situations

The document discusses functions and how they can represent real-life situations through examples such as the cost of meals, the area of an enclosed rectangular space, and piecewise functions for dog grooming costs and jeepney fares that vary based on certain values. It also provides tasks for describing piecewise functions and creating a new scenario involving a piecewise function.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED FROM THE


PREVIOUS LESSON?
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

EXAMPLE 1: Give a function C that


represent the cost of buying meals, if
one meal costs ₱65.00.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

1. How much is the cost of one meal?


2. How much would you spend on three meals?
3. Give a formula or a rule to calculate the cost
of a certain() number of meals, where
represents the total cost.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

Solution: Since each meal meals costs


₱65.00, then the cost function is

Situations

EXAMPLE 2:One hundred meters of


fencing is available to enclose a
rectangular area next to a river.
Give a function A that represent
the area that can be enclosed, in
terms of .
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

1. How long is the available fencing material?

2. On how many sides of the rectangle would fence


be required?

3. Give the equation that represents the perimeter


of the sides to be fenced using 100 m of fencing
material using x as the length of the rectangle and
y as its width.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

4. Using the formula that you create fi nd y in terms of


x.

5. What is the formula to fi nd the area of the rectangle?

6. Give a function A that represent the area that can be


enclosed, in terms of .
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

Solution: The area of the rectangular enclosure is


A = xy. We will write this as a function of x. Since only 100 m
of fencing material is available, then x + 2y = 100 or

Thus A(x) = x(50-0.5x) or

A(x) = 50x-0.5x 2
Piecewise Functions

• Functions described by more than one formula,


depending on the value of the independent
variable
• Functions which consists of two or more
functions in a specifi ed domain.

EXAMPLE 3: “Tagagupit ng aso" charges


according to the following function with
representing the total price and representing
the weight of the dog in pounds.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situation

1. If your dog weigh 15 pounds how much will you pay?


2. If your dog weigh 35 pounds how much will you pay?
3. If your dog weigh 56 pounds how much will you pay?
4. How much more money will you pay for a dog weighing 60
pounds compare to a small dog weighing 10 pound?
5. Describe the domain of the function.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

EXAMPLE 4. A jeepney ride costs P12.00 for the


fi rst 4 kilometers, and each additional integer
kilometer adds P3.00 to the fare. Use a
piecewise function to represent the jeepney fare
of the distance (d) in kilometers.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

1. How much is the minimum fare?


2. How will the minimum fare increase?
3. How much will you pay if you travel a
distance of 3 kilometers?
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

4. How much will it cost you to travel 5


kilometers?
5. How would you describe the domain or the
possible inputs to compute for the cost of travel?
6. Represent the scenario using piecewise
function.
Function as Representation of Real-life
Situations

Solution: The input value is the distance and the output is the
cost of jeepney fare. If F(d) represents the fare as a function of
distance d, the function can be represented as follows:
F(d) =

Note that is the fl oor function or greatest integer function applied


to d. The fl oor function gives the largest integer less than or equal
to d, example

EXAMPLE 5. The cost of a catering service to serve food for


a party is P500 per head for 20 persons or less. P450 per head
for 21 to 50 persons, and P400 for 51 to 100 persons. For 100 or
more persons, the cost is P380 per head. Represent the total
cost as a piecewise function of the number of attendees of the
party.

Questions:
1. Based on the given examples, describe a
piecewise function?

2. What can you say about the domain of the


piecewise functions?
Task to do:

Create a real-life scenario/problem


involving piecewise function with
solution.
“Best way to escape from
your problems is to solve
them.”
