FUNCTIONS
Objectives
After going through this module, you are expected
to: 1. Recall the concepts of relations and functions. 2. Define and explain functional relationship as a mathematical model of situation. 3. Represent real-life situations using functions including piece-wise functions. Eliciting Prior Knowledge What have you remembered about relations and functions? Relation – any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first elements of the ordered pairs is called the domain of the relation, and the set of all second elements is called the range. Function - a relation or rule of correspondence between two elements (domain and range) such that each element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range. To further understand function, let’s study the following. Given the following ordered pairs, which relations are functions?
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
B = {(3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)} C = {(1,0), (0, 1, (-1,0), (0,-1)} D = {(a,b), (b, c), (c,d), (a,d)} How about from the given table of values, which relation shows a function? We can also identify a function given a diagram. On the following mapping diagrams, which do you think represent functions? How about if the given are graphs of relations, can you identify which are functions? Do you still remember the vertical line test? Let’s recall. A relation between two sets of numbers can be illustrated by graph in the Cartesian plane, and that a function passes the vertical line test. A graph of a relation is a function if any vertical line drawn passing through the graph Using the vertical line test, can you identify the graph/s of function? Functions can often be used to model real-life situations. Identifying an appropriate functional model will lead to a better understanding of various phenomena. The Function Machine
You have learned that function can be represented by
equation. Since output (y) is dependent on input (x), we can say that y is a function of x. For example, if a function machine always adds three (3) to whatever you put in it. Therefore, we can derive an equation of y = x + 3 or Let’s try the following real-life situation. 1. 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. Answer: D(t) = 60t 2. A kilo of mango in a mango stand costs ₱95.00. If John bought k kilograms, represent the amount paid F as a function. Answer: F(k) = 95k 3. Give a function B that can represent the amount of battery charge of a cellular phone in h hour, if 12% of battery was loss every hour. Answer: B(h) = 4. Jose can encode 1000 words in every hour of typing job. Express the total number of words (W) as a function of the number of hours (h) that Jose can encode. Answer: W(h) = 1000h 5. Mrs. Roman was given a money worth ₱5,500 to be divided equally to her student. Represent the amount (A) received by the students if there are n students. Answer: A(n) = Piecewise Functions There are functions that requires more than one formula in order to obtain the given output. Piecewise Function - a function in which more than one formula is used to define the output. Each formula has its own domain, and the domain of the function is the union of all these smaller domains. We notate this idea like this: Look at these examples! 1. A user is charged ₱250.00 monthly for a particular mobile plan, which includes 200 free text messages. Messages in excess of 200 are charged ₱1.00 each. Represent the monthly cost for text messaging using the function t(m), where m is the number of messages sent in a month. Answer: 2. A certain chocolate bar costs ₱50.00 per piece. However, if you buy more than 5 pieces they will mark down the price to ₱48.00 per piece. Use a piecewise function to represent the cost in terms of the number of chocolate bars bought. Answer: 3. The cost of hiring a catering service to serve food for a party is ₱250.00 per head for 50 persons or less, ₱200.00 per head for 51 to 100 persons, and ₱150.00 per head for more than 100. Represent the total cost as a piecewise function of the number of attendees to the party. Answer:
