Learning Target
\

1. represents real-life situations using functions, including piecewise functions.

2. evaluates a function.

Learning Concepts

Functions and Relations

Relation is a rule that relates values from a set of values (Domain) to a second set of
values (Range).
Function is a relation where EACH element in the Domain is related to ONLY ONE
value in the range by some rule.
Functions as Representation of real-life situations
 Piecewise Functions
This is used in situations that can only be described by more than one formula.
Evaluating Function
This means replacing the variable in the function, in this case x, with a value from the
function’s domain and computing for the result.

Illustrations/Examples

Functions as Representation of real-life situations

Example: Give a function C that can represent the cost of buying x meals, if one meal
cost P40.
Solution: since each meal costs P40, then the cost function is C(x) = 40x

Piecewise Functions
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 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:
8 if 0 < d ≤ 4
F(d) =
8 + 1.5 (d – 4) if d > 4
 Evaluating Functions
Given the functions below, determine the value of the following:
f (x) = 2x2 + 3x -8 1. f (3)
g (x) = 7x - 11 2. g (-5)
h (x) = √𝑥 + 2 3. h (7)

Answer:
1. f (3) = 2(3)2 + 3(3) – 8 2(9) + 9 – 8 18 + 1 19
2. g (-5) = 7(-5) – 11 -35 – 11 -46
3. h (7) = √7 + 2 √9 ±𝟑

Exercises/Task

A. True or False (1pt. each)

Direction: Write T if the statement is True and F is False.
_____1. All Functions are Relation.
_____2. Some Relations are Functions.
_____3. Piecewise functions are only used in situations that are described by two formulas.
_____4. Vertical line test is used to know if a graph is a Function or not.
_____5. The Domain is the set of values of y.

B. Function or NOT (1pt. each)

Given the following relations below, determine whether it is a Function of NOT. On the space
provided, write Function if it is a function and NOT otherwise.

_______1. _______4. y = x + 5

_______2. {(-7,2), (5,9), (-7, -9), (4,2), (8,6)} _______5.

_______3.

C. Representing Function (5pts)

A videoke machine can be 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 C(d) of renting a videoke machine
as a piecewise function of the number of days it is rented.

D. Evaluating Functions (2pts. each)

Given the functions below, determine the value of the following:

f (x) = 5x2 - 2x + 4 h (x) = √𝑥 + 14 j (x) = 3x + 13 1. f (4) 4. i (-7)

𝑥+3 2. g (-3) 5. j (15)
g (x) = 6x – 9 i (x) = 3. h (22)
𝑥−9
