Relation

and
Function
 Objectives
1.Define, identify and differentiate
function and relation;
2.Represent real-life situations using
functions including piece-wise
function;
3.Appreciate representing real-life
situations using functions.
Questions:

1.What are the different

functions that you had
studied during your JHS?
2.Give real life examples of
relation and function.
 Piece-wise Function
- is a function defined by two or
more formulas on different parts of
its domain.

−𝑥, 𝑥<0
𝑓 𝑥 =ቊ
𝑥, 𝑥≥0

Questions:

1.How did you find the activity?

2.How did you come up with your
answers?
3.How will you differentiate
relation and function?
 Functions as
Representations
of Real-life
Situations
Example 1:

1.Give a function C that can

represent the cost of buying x
meals, if one meal costs P40.00.

Answer: C(x) = 40x

Example 2:

1.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.

Answer: A(x) = 50x – 0.5x2

Example 3:

A merchant sells rice at P45.00 a kilo. If,

however, a buyer buys more than 150 kilos
of rice, the merchant gives a 10%
discount. If x represents the number of
kilos of rice purchased, express the
amount to be paid by f(x).

45𝑥 𝑖𝑓 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 150
Answer: f 𝑥 = ቊ
40.50𝑥 + 675 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 > 150
Example 4:

1. A user is charged P300.00 monthly for a

particular mobile plan, which includes 100 free
text messages. Messages in excess of 100 are
charged P1.00 each. Represent the amount a
consumer pays each month as a function of the
number of messages m sent in a month.

300 𝑖𝑓 0 < 𝑚 ≤ 100

Answer: 𝑡 𝑚 = ቊ
200 + 𝑚 𝑖𝑓 𝑚 > 100

Evaluation:
1. A copy shop charges $0.15 per photocopy for
orders of 20 or fewer photocopies, $0.12 per
photocopy for orders of 50 or fewer but more than
20 photocopies, and $0.10 per photocopy for
orders of more than 50 photocopies. Which
function best represents the cost C in dollars
for x number of photocopies?
