KEY CONCEPTS OF FUNCTIONS
Objectives:
▪ Defines functions
▪ Represents real-life situations using
functions
▪ Evaluates functions
▪ Performs operations of functions
▪ Solves problems involving functions
FUNCTION
A function f from A to B is a relation
from A to B where for each a ɛ A,
there corresponds exactly one b ɛ B
such that (a,b) satisfies f.
as diagrams
as set of ordered pairs
1. 2
-x +y-1=0
2. 5x+y-4=0
as graphs
as table of values
Example:
Piece-wise Function
A piece-wise function is a
function which consists of two or
more functions in specified
domain.
Graph
Functions as Mathematical Models
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.
Functions as Mathematical Models
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.
Functions as Mathematical Models
An internet company charges ₱500.00 for
the first 30 GB used in a month. Every
exceeding GB will then cost ₱30.00 But if
the costumer reach a total of 50 GB and
above, a flat rate of ₱1,000.00 will be
charged instead. Write a piecewise
function C(g) that represents the charge
according to GB used?
