I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Define and illustrate functions using ordered pairs, table of values, graphs, and
equations;
2. Appreciate the beauty of math and nature by understanding the applications of
functions in the real world; and
3. Write functions of your own based on real-world examples.

III. PROCEDURE:
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity
A. Preliminary Activities

a. Greetings
- Good day everyone. Good morning, Miss. Yes
Are you all ready to learn something new today? we are all ready!
Ok cool.

b. Prayer
- Before we begin, let’s have our usual routine. Mr. Nase leads the
- Mr. Nase, please lead the prayer. prayer.

c. Checking of attendance
- Is everyone present? Yes, Miss.
Very Good! Perfect attendance.

d. Online Class Rules Yes, Miss.

- Let me present you first a slide for our online class rules. (Presenting)
- Are these rules clear to you class?
e. Review
- Let’s recall our past lesson. In our previous meeting, you have been introduced Answer:
and provided with discussions on functions and relations. A relation is a set of input
- Can someone tell me what is a Relation? and output values
- And what is a Function? generally represented by
- Ok, very Good! a mapping diagram and a
graph.

A function is a relation
defined as a set of
ordered pairs (x,y) where
no two or more distinct
ordered pairs have the
same first element (x);
that is, every value of x
corresponds to a unique
value of y. A function can
be named using any letter
of the English alphabet.
B. Awareness (Motivation)
- Before we discuss functions further, let us have a short activity. The examples given in a
- Determine whether each of the following is a function or not. and b are functions since
- A. f ={ ( 0 ,−1 ) , (2 ,−5 ) , ( 4 ,−9 ) , (6 ,−13 ) } no two ordered pairs have
- B. R={( a , 0 ) , ( b ,−1 ) , ( c ,0 ) , ( d ,−1 ) } the same value of x.
- C. g= (5 ,−10 ) , ( 25 ,−75 ) , ( 50 ,−100 ) } Example c is not a
- D. T ={ (−2, 0 ) , (−1,1 ) , ( 0,1 ) , (−2,2 ) } function as it does not
indicate a set. It is simply
a listing of ordered pairs.
Example d is not a
function because there are
ordered pairs having the
same first element x.

C. Activity
- Let us discuss another method of determining functions. Example a is a function,
- Determine if the correspondence illustrates a function or not. miss.
- A.
x 0 1 4 9 16
y -5 -4 -1 4 11

- B.
x -1 −1 0 1 1 Example b is also a
function, miss.
4 4
y -1 −1 0 1 1
2 2
Answers:
- Another example: Identify whether the relationship that exists between each of A is a function. A jeepney
the following pairs indicates a function or not. can only be assigned one
- A. a jeepney and its plate number plate number.
- B. a student and his ID number B is a function. A student
- C. a teacher and his cellular phone may only be issued one
- D. a pen and the color of its ink ID number.
C is not a function. A
teacher may have two or
more cellular phones.
D is not a function. There
are some pens that have
two or three colors of ink
contained in only one
unit.
D. Analysis
- Let us try to define functions in terms of their graphs.
- Which of the following graphs illustrate a function?
Solution:
-
The graphs a and b
illustrate a function.
Notice that when a
vertical line is drawn over
these graphs, the line will
intersect each graph at
exactly one point. On the
other hand, the graph in c
is not a function because
any vertical line will
intersect the graphs at two
or three points.

- The relationship between the independent and dependent variables, defined by

an equation is summarized in this figure:
 Solution:
1. Substitute the value of
x into the given
- equation, then solve
E. Abstraction for y. therefore, in the
- Let us know evaluate some equations: given equation, if x =
- 1. Find the value of y in the equation y=3 x−2 if x=−1 . -1, then y = -5. These
3 x+ 8 values can be written
- 2. If the value of y in the equation y= is 2, find x . as an ordered pair (-1,
x−2
-5).

2. Multiply both sides

by x-2, use the
distributive property
of multiplication,
combine similar
terms, simplify both
sides, and divide both
sides by -1.
Therefore, x = -12 if y
= 2 in the given
equation.

Solution:
1. Speed s is determined
F. Application d
- Let us apply functions to real-life scenarios and evaluate them. by the formula s= ,
t
- 1. A car has traveled a distance of 42 kilometers (km) in 3 hours (h). Find the where d is the
speed of the car. distance traveled in a
given time t.
Therefore,
d 42 km
s= = =14 km/h
t 3h
. Hence, the speed of
the car is 14km/h.

Subjective answers

G. Evaluation
 1. In what day-to-day activities do you encounter scenarios which can be
modeled by functions?
2. Cite instances where your knowledge of functions can help you solve
problems easier.
3. How is the concept of functions related to fairness and equality?
