Remember:
 Every element in the domain is mapped to a single element
in the range.
There is no duplication of the first coordinates in the set of
ordered pairs.
The graph of the relation can only be intersected once when
a vertical line is drawn anywhere in the graph.
Now, if these three features are present, then the given relation
is said to be a function.
Relations can be represented by
 ordered pairs
 table of values
 mapping diagram
 graph
 rule or equations
Functions can often be used to model real situations.
Example 1.
Give a function C that can represent the cost of buying x shirts, if
one shirt costs ₱400.
Solution
Since each shirt costs ₱400, then the cost function is C(x) = 400x
Example 2
If distance (D) is a function of time (t), give a function D that can represent
the distance a car travels in t time, if every hour the car travels 60
kilometers.
Solution
function is given by 𝑫(𝒕) = 𝟔𝟎t

Since every hour, the car travels 60 kilometers, therefore the distance
Example 3
If height (H) is a function of age (a), give a function H that can

represent the height of a person in a age, if every year the height is
added by 2 inches.
Solution
function is 𝑯(𝒂) = 𝟐 + 𝒂
Since every year the height is added by 2 inches, then the height
Example 4
Give a function B that can represent the amount of battery charge of a

cellular phone in h hour, if 12% of battery was loss every hour.
Solution
function is 𝑩(𝒉) = 𝟏𝟎𝟎% − 12%h

Since every hour losses 12% of the battery, then the amount of battery
Example 5
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. Write this as a function of x as
A(x) = xy. Recall that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is defined as
P=2l+2w. In this problem, we only need to enclose the three sides of the rectangular
area since the frontal side is a river. Therefore, the perimeter becomes P=x+2y or
x+2y=P. Then, x+2y=100 or y = (100 – x)/2 = 50 – 0.5x. Thus, A(x) = x(50 – 0.5x) or
A(x) = 50x – 0.5x2
TOPIC:
Piecewise Functions
In real life, however, functions are represented by a
combination of equations, each corresponding to a
part of the domain.
These are called piecewise functions.

What do they look like?
x2 + 1 , x  0
f(x) = x–1, x0
Piecewise Function
• is a function defined by two or more functions over
a specified domain.
• Each formula has its own domain, and the domain
of the function is the union of all these smaller
domains.

How to write the formula given a piecewise
function?
1)Identify the intervals for which the rule applies.
2)Determine the formulas that describe how to
calculate an output in each interval.
3)Use braces and “if – statements” to write the
function.
Illustrative Example 1
A school’s fair committee wants to sell t – shirts

for their school fair. They found a supplier that sells
t – shirts at a price of ₱175 a piece but can charge
₱15, 000 for a bulk order of 100 shirts and ₱125 for
each excess t – shirt after that. Represent the cost
of t – shirt using the function f(x) where x is the
number of t – shirts purchased.

175x, if 0 < x < 100
f(x) =
15000, if x = 100 For exactly 100 t-shirts purchased
15000+125(x – 100 ), if x > 100 For more than 100 t-shirts purchased
A user is charged ₱250.00 monthly for a particular

mobile plan, which includes 200 free text messages.
Messages in excess of 200 are charged ₱1.00 each.
Represent the monthly cost for text messaging using the
function t(m), where m is the number of messages sent in a
month.

A certain chocolate bar costs ₱50.00 per piece.

However, if you buy more than 5 pieces they will mark down
the price to ₱48.00 per piece. Use a piecewise function f(n)
to represent the cost in terms of the number of chocolate
bars bought.

per head for 51 to 100 persons, and ₱150.00 per head for
