General Mathematics Module

Week 1
Most Essential Learning Competencies
FUNCTIONS
• Represents real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise function.
• Evaluates a function.
Content Standard
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
• The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of functions.
Performance Standard
• The learner should be able to accurately construct mathematical models to represent real-life
situations using functions.

WHAT I KNOW

Is it a function or not? Write F if it is a function, and write NF for not function.


a. f = {(0, -1), (2, -5), (4, -9), (6,-13)}

b. r ={(a, 0), (b, -1), (c, 0), (d, -1)}

c. g = (5, -10), (25, -50), (50, -100)

d. t = {(-2, 0), (-1, 1), (0, 1), (-2, 2)}

WHAT’S IN

Is it a function or not? Write F if it is a function, and write NF for not function.

1. A jeepney and its plate number

2. A student and his ID number

3. A teacher and his cellular phone

4. A pen and the color of its ink


As we focus on the application of
WHAT’S NEW
Functions in real – life setting, we can
keep an eye for the input – output
process in the real world. For example,
the figure demonstrates the input – output
situation. The customer inserts money
and punches the button that corresponds
to what he likes and that specific item
drops into the output slot of the machine.
In this kind of situation, the input is the
money together with the button pressed
for a specific item, while the output took
place when the item chosen dropped on
the output slot of the machine. Just like
functions, for every one domain (coin)
there is a unique range (item).

WHAT IS IT

• Function 𝑓(𝑥) is a relation define as a set of ordered pair (x,y) where


no two or more distinct ordered pairs have the same first element (x).
• Every value of x corresponds to the unique value of y.
• Where x is called domain, and y is called range.

Examples:

1. r = { (3,0), (4,8), (2,0), (5,9) }


The set of numbers above is a function because there are no two or more distinct
ordered pairs have the same first element (x).
2. s = { (4,0), (4,9), (7,0), (4,7)
The set of numbers above is not a function because three distinct ordered pairs are
having the same first element (x).
3. A person’s thumb mark.
Function. Because each person has a unique thumb mark.
4. A student and his student number.
Function. Because no student can have the same student’s number.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:

Give five examples of a function in real life situation.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Identify the following if it is a function or not.

1. t = { (7,5), (6,6), (2,8), (9,5) }


2. r = { (x,y), (b,y), (a,c), (b,d) }
3. g = { (3,9), (7,7), (4,9), (3,9) }
4. v = { (5,5), (5,9), (9,5), (8,0) }
5. f = { (3,2), (9,0), (1,2), (2,6) }
EVALUATION OF FUNCTION

• Functions are represented by y = 𝑓(𝑥) which means that the value of


the variable y depends upon by variable x. Therefore x is the input and y
is the output.
• The function can be evaluated in various values of x which is substituted
to the given function.

EXAMPLE NO. 1

Given the function f(x) = 5x + 4, find f(3).

Solution:

The function f(x) = 5x + 4, means that x is multiplied by 5 and 4 is added from the result to
obtain f(x).

To find f(2) means the value of the function when x is equal 3. Thus, substitute x by 3.

f(x) = 5x + 4

f(2) = 5(3) + 4

f(2) = 19.

EXAMPLE NO.2

Given the function f(x) = 5x2 – 3x + 9, find f(-2) and f(0).

Solution:
For f(-2);
For f(0);
f(x) = 5x2 – 3x + 9
f(x) = 5x2 – 3x + 9
f(-2) = 5(-2)2 – 3(-2) + 9
f(0) = 5(0)2 – 3(0) + 9
f(-2) = 20 + 6 + 9
f(0) = 0 - 0 + 9
f(-2) = 35
f(0) = 9

EXAMPLE NO. 3
Given the function f(x) = √𝑥 + 2, find f(4).

Solution:

f(x) = √𝑥 + 2
f(4) = √4 + 2
f(4) = 2 + 2
f(4) = 4
EXAMPLE NO. 4
2𝑥+3
Given the function f(x) = 3𝑥−4 , find f(4)

Solution:
2𝑥+3
f(x) = 3𝑥−4

2(4)+3
f(4) = 3(4)−4

8+3
f(4) = 12−4

𝟏𝟏
f(4) =
𝟖
