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.
Since every hour, the car travels 60 kilometers,
therefore the distance function is given by:
𝑫(𝒕) = 𝟔𝟎𝒕

Give a function C that can represent the cost


of buying x meals, if one meal costs P90.

Since each meal costs P90, then the cost function


is:

Some functions require more than one formula to

obtain the given output. There are instances when we
need to describe situations in which a rule or
relationship changes as the input value crosses
certain boundaries.
Each formula has its own domain, and the
domain of the function is the union of all these
smaller domains.

Function
A user is charged ₱250.00 monthly for a particular
mobile plan, which includes 200 free text
messages. Messages over 200 are charged ₱1.00
each. Represent the monthly cost for text
messaging using the function t(m), where m is the
number of𝑡(𝑚messages

Function
A jeepney ride costs P13.00 for the first 4
kilometers, and each additional kilometer adds
P1.80 to the fare. Use a piecewise function to
represent the jeepney fare in terms of the distance
d in kilometers.
