 A relation is a rule that relates values from a
set of values (called the domain) to a second set of
values (called the range).

A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x,y)

A function is a relation where each element

in the domain is related to only one value in range by
some rule.

(Vertical Line Test)

A graph is a function if any vertical line
drawn passing through the graph intersects
the graph at exactly one point.

 Functions as
representations of
real-life situations
Example 1: Give a function C that
can represent the cost of buying x
meals, if one meal costs P40.
Solution: Since each meal costs P40,
then the cost function is C(x) = 40x.
Example 2: One hundred meters
of fencing is available to enclose
a rectangular area next to a
river. Give a function A that can
represent the area that can be
enclosed, in terms of x.
Solution: The area of the
rectangular enclosure is A = xy.
x+ 2y = 100 or y = (100 – x)
2
y = 50 – 0.5x A(x) = x(50 – 0.5x)
A(x) = 50x – 0.5x 2
Piecewise
functions
Piecewise Function – is function
defined by multiple sub-functions,
each sub-function applying to a
certain interval of the main
function’s domain, a sub-domain.
Example 1: A user is charged P300
monthly for a particular mobile plan,
which includes 100 free text messages.
Messages in excess of 100 are charged P1
each. Represent the monthly cost for text
messaging using the function t(m), where
m is the number of messages sent in a
month.
Solution: The cost of text messaging
can be expressed by the piecewise
function:
Example 2: A jeepney ride costs P8.00
for the first 4 kilometers, and each
additional integer kilometer adds
P1.50 to the fare. Use a piecewise
function to represent the jeepney
fare in terms of the distance d in
kilometers.
Solution: The input value is distance and the
output value is the cost of the jeepney fare.
If F(d) represents the fare as a function of
distance, the function can be represented as
follows:
Seatwork
1. A videoke machine can rented for P1,000 for
three days, but for the fourth day onwards, an
additional cost of P400 per day is added. Represent the
cost of renting a videoke machine as a piecewise
function of the number of days it is rented.
