| Situations Using Functions
Welcome to the first lesson of your General Mathematics. This lesson will give
you the practical application of functions in a real-life scenario including the piece-
wise function. When you are in Grade 8, you already encountered relation and
function, But in this module, let's take into a deeper sense on how this topic can be
useful in our daily life. Are you all ready?
@ What’s In
YA
Before we proceed in representing real-life scenario using function, let's go back to
where we start. What have you remembered about relations and functions?
A relation is 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.
A function is 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), (6,5), (6,6)}
C= {(1,0), (0, 1, (1,0), (0,-1)}
D= lab), (b, ¢), (ed), (ad)
You are right! The relations A and B are functions because each element in the
domain corresponds to a unique element in the range. Meanwhile, relations C and D
are not functions because they contain ordered pairs with the same domain [C = (0,1)
and (0,-1), D = (a,b) and (a,¢)}How about from the given table of values, which relation shows a function?
A
x i 2 3 4 5 6
v 2 4 6 8 10 12
[F= a 3 i 2 5
5 "2, 2 2 0
c
x 0 a a
3 4 0 =
That's right! A and B are functions since all the values of x corresponds to exactly
one value of y. Unlike table C, where -1 corresponds to two values, 4 and 1
We can also identify a function given a diagram. On the following mapping
diagrams, which do you think represent functions?
Domain RangeYou are correct! The relations A and C are functions because each element in the
domain corresponds to a unique element in the range. However, B is a mere relation
and not function because there is a domain which corresponds to more than one
range
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 intersects it at exactly one point.
Using the vertical line test, can you identify the graph/s of function?
AR
Te
Yes, that’s right! A and C are graphs of functions while B and D are not because
they do not pass the vertical line test.
In Mathematics, we can represent functions in different ways. It can be
represented through words, tables, mappings, equations and graphs.4 What’s New
We said that for a relation to become a function, the value of the domain must
correspond to a single value of the range. Let’s read some of the conversations and
determine if they can he classified as function or not
Scenario 1: June and Mae are in a long-time relationship until June realized
that he wants to marry Mae.
We're together for the

I proniise to tore you

Scenario 2: Kim is a naturally born Filipino but because of her eyes, many
people confused if she is a Chinese. Let’s see how she responds to her new
classmates who are asking if she’s a Chines
‘No elassuatet Iwas

‘your feature.Scenario 3: As part of their requirements in Statistics class, Andrei made @
survey on the religion of his classmates and here's what he found out.
Andrei: Good morning classmates, as our requirement in Statistics may I know
your religion. This data will be part of my input in the survey that I am doing.
‘Ana 1: Lam a Catholic.
Kevin: Iam also a Catholic.
Sam: am a member of the Iglesia ni Cristo.
Joey: lam a Born Again Christian.
Lanie: My family is a Muslim.
Jen: We are sacred a Catholic Family.
Andrei: Thank you classmates for your responses.
Reflect on this!
1. From the above conversations, which scenario/s do you think can be classified
as function?
2. State the reason/s why or why not the above scenarios a function.
Scenario 1:
Scenario 2:
Scenario 3:
@) What is It
Functions as representations of real-life situations
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 above scenarios are all examples of relations that show function, Monogamous
marriage (e.g. Christian countries} is an example of function when there is faith and
loyalty. Let say, June is the domain and Mae is the range, when there is faithfulness
in their marriage, there will be one-to-one relationship - one domain to one range.
Nationality could also illustrate a function. We expect that at least a person has one
nationality. Let say Kim is the domain and her nationality is the range, therefore
9there is a one-to-one relationship. Since Kim was born and live in the Philippines,
she can never have multiple nationalities except Filipino. (Remember: Under RA 9225
only those naturally-born Filipinos who have become naturalized citizens of another
country can have dual citizenship. This is not applicable to Kim since she was born
in the Philippines and never a citizen of other country.)
Religion is also an example of function because a person can never have two religions.
Inside the classroom, three classmates said that they are Catholic. This shows a
many-to-one relationship. Classmates being the domain and religion being the range
indicate that different values of domain can have one value of range. One-to-one
relationship was also illustrated by the classmates who said that they are Born
Again, Muslim and Iglesia ni Cristo - one student to one religion.
Can you cite other real-life situations that show functions?
‘The Function Machine
Function can be illustrated as a machine where there is the input and the output.
When you put an object into a machine, you expect a product as output after the
Process being done by the machine. For example, when you put an orange fruit into
a juicer, you expect an orange juice as the output and not a grape juice. Or you will
never expect to have two kinds of juices - orange and grapes.
INPUTS,
OUPUTS
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 function
machine always adds three (3) to whatever you put in it. Therefore, we can derive an
equation of x +3 = y or f(x) = x+ 3 where fix) = y.
Let's try the following real-life situation.
A. IP height (#) is a function of age (a), give a function H that can represent the
height of a person in a age, if every year the height is added by 2 inches.
Solution:
Since every year the height is added by 2 inches, then the height
function is H(a)=2+a
10B. If distance (D)is a function of time (f), give a function D that can represent
the distance a car travels in t time, if every hour the car travels 60
kilometers.
Solution:
Since every hour, the car travels 60 kilometers, therefore the distance
function is given by D(t) = 60t
C.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.
Solution:
Since every hour losses 12% of the battery, then the amount of
battery function is B(h) = 100-0.12h
D, Squares of side x are cut from each corner of a 10 in x 8 in rectangle, so that
its sides can be folded to make a box with no top. Define a function in terms
of x that can represent the volume of the box.
Solution:
The length and width of the box are 10 - 2x and 8 - 2x, respectively. Its
height is x. Thus, the volume of the box can be represented by the function,
V(x) = (10 — 2x)(8 — 2x)(x) = 80x — 36x? + 42°
Piecewise Functions
‘There are functions that requires more than one formula in order to obtain the given
output. There are instances when we need to describe situations in which a rule or
relationship changes as the input value crosses certain boundaries. In this case, we
need to apply the piecewise function.
A piecewise function is 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 thi:
formula 1 ifxis in domain 1
F(X) = formula 2 if is in domain 2
formula 3 ifx is in domain 3
Look at these examples!
A.A user is charged P250.00 monthly for a particular mobile plan, which
includes 200 free text messages. Messages in excess of 200 are charged P1.00

For number 13 - 15 use the problem below.
Cotta National High School GPTA officers want to give t-shirts to all the students for
the foundation day. They found a supplier that sells t-shirt for P 200.00 per piece but
can charge to P 18,000.00 for a. bulk order of 100 shirts and P175.00 for each excess
tshirt after that. Use a piecewise function to express the cost in terms of the number
of tshirt purchase

Additional Activities
Ifyou believe that you learned a lot from the module and you feel that you need more
activities, well this part is for you.
Read and analyze each situation carefully and apply your learnings on representing
real-life situations involving functions including piecewise.
1, Contaminated water is subjected to a cleaning process. The concentration of the
pollutants is initially 5 mg per liter of water. If the cleaning process can reduce the
pollutant by 10% each hour, define a function that can represent the concentration
of pollutants in the water in terms of the number of hours that the cleaning process
has taken place.
2. During typhoon Ambo, PAGASA tracks the amount of accumulating rainfall. For
the first three hours of typhoon, the rain fell at a constant rate of 25mm per hour.
The typhoon slows down for an hour and started again at a constant rate of 20 mm
per hour for the next two hours. Write a piecewise function that models the amount
of rainfall as function of time.
