Lessons1: Functions as Models

Objectives:

1. At the end of the lesson, the Grade 11


students are able to represent real life
situations using functions piecewise
functions.

2. Solve problems involving functions.


Recall:
 What is a relation?
Recall:
 What is a function?
Activity: The Function as a Machine
Represent the mathematical relations as machines with an input and an
output, and that the output is related to the input by some rule.
Analysis:
1. Which of these
machine, if you know
the input, can you
determine the a single
output?
2. Which of these
machines, if the output
is known, can you
determine a single or
unique input?
3. Suppose we connect
machine (a) to machine
(c) such that output of
(a) becomes the input
of (c). Give the output
for the following
inputs: A, R, S, U.
Functions and Relations as a Table of Values

Example 1: Which of the following relations are functions?

Represent the given in Example in tabular form or table of


values.
Functions and Relations as a Mapping Diagram
Example 1: Which of the following relations are functions?
Functions as a Graph in the Cartesian Plane
Relation between two sets of number can be illustrated by a graph in the
Cartesian plane and that a function passes the vertical line test.
Functions as a Graph in the Cartesian Plane

Take note: A relation is a function if for each x-value there


corresponds only one y-value
Functions as Equation

EXAMPLE 5. Identify the domain for each relation in


EXAMPLE 4.

If a relation is a function, then y can be replaced


with f(x) or with other letters to denote that the
value of y depends on the value of x.
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.

EXAMPLE 6. Give a function C that can represent the cost of


buying x meal in the canteen, if one meal costs Php 40.
EXAMPLE 7. One hundred meters of fencing is available to a
rectangular area next to a river (see figure). Give a function A
that can represent the area that can be enclosed, in terms of x.
Piecewise Functions
