 Lesson
Solving Real-Life Problems
1 Involving Functions

Majority of the problems we encounter in real life situation involve relationship between
two quantities where one quantity depends on another. For example, personnel in
Department of Health observes the number of persons infected by a particular virus in a
certain community increases with time. In finding out the exact function relating to the
number of persons infected to time, modelling can be used. Once the model is determined
solving and predicting the properties of the subject being studied can be done. At this
point we will focus on solving in order for us to predict answer to existing problems.

What’s In
YES I CAN!

Listed below are the skills and competencies you should possess before proceeding to this
lesson. Read the statements and assess yourself whether you agree or disagree with the
statements.

Statement Agree Disagree

1. I can carefully read and analyze a given problem
2. I can determine the given and the facts required in a
problem
3. I can represent real – life situation using function,
including piece –wise function
4. I can perform operations on functions
5. I can evaluate functions

• If you agree with all the statements that means you are very much ready with this module,
however if there are some statements where you disagree that means you need to have a
quick review of the previous lesson that will aid you in gaining success in this lesson.
Let us take a quick tour to what you learn in the previous modules

5
1. Being able to understand a problem presented is the first thing that we learn on
how to solve problems in Mathematics. Careful reading leads you to thorough analysis in
the identification of given facts and in determining the required or the unknown quantity.
Precise label of the known and unknown quantities will help you set up a direction
towards the solution.

2. A function is a rule of correspondence between two non-empty sets, such that to each
element of the first set called domain, there corresponds one and only one element of the
second set called range.

3. Functions are used to model real life situations and in representing real – life
situations the quantity of one variable depends or corresponds to or mapped onto another
quantity.

4. Piece-wise function are functions that may be represented by a combination or of

equations.

5. If a function f is defined by y = f(x) and an independent variable x is found by

substituting x into the function rule then it undergoes a process of evaluating function.
Moreover, you also studied fundamental operation can be applied to two or more functions
to form a new function. Such operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division.

Consider the examples below and reflect if you are confident enough to proceed

1. Write a function C that represent the cost of buying x facemask, if a facemask cost
₱65.00
C(x) = 65x

2. A commuter pays ₱ 9.00 for a jeepney fare for the first 5 km and an additional
₱ 0.75 for every succeeding distance d in kilometer. Represent the situation as function
F(d) = 9, if 0<d<5
F(d) = 9 + 0.75(d) , if d>5

3. If �(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 6, evaluate: a. f(4) b. f(-2) c. f(-x)

Solution: a. �(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 6 b. �(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 6

�(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 6
c.

�(−2) = (−2) + 6 �(−𝑥) = −𝑥 + 6

�(3) = 6
�(−2) = −4
�(3) + �(−2) = 6 +

At this point you may now proceed to the next section of this module!

Notes to the Teacher

The teacher may also point out the importance of the concept of zero
of linear function in solving problems involving functions. The zero of a
linear function f(x) is the real number a such that f(a)=0. This suggest
that the zero of linear function is found by equating it to zero and then
7
solving the resulting equation for x. This will be used in the latter example
in the module.

 What’s New

JEEPNEY OR TRICYCLE?

Read and analyze the problem below.

Miguel is a senior high school student who commutes from home to school which is
15 km apart. There are two modes of transportation the first one is through jeep and the other
one is through tricycle. In riding a jeepney the fare charge ₱9.00 for the first 4 km travel
and ₱0.75 for each additional kilometer. Meanwhile in riding a tricycle the fare would be
₱10.00 for the first km travel and ₱1 for each additional kilometer.

Will you help Miguel analyze his situation?

Questions

1. If you are Miguel and decided to ride in a jeepney, how much will be your fare?
Hint: You may use the table below to compute the fare

No. of km 0-4 5 6 7 8 9 10 15
Amount charge 9 9+ 9.75+
0.75 0.75

2. If you decided to ride in a tricycle how much will be your fare?

Hint: You may use the strategy in no. 2

3. What characteristics does Miguel possess if he chose to ride a jeepney?

4. Is there any advantage in riding a jeepney instead of tricycle? Or riding a

tricycle instead of jeepney? What would it be?

5. If you are Miguel which between the two modes of transportation will you choose?
Why?

9
 What is It

Decision making is always part of our lives, from the moment we wake- up we start to
decide the proper action to undertake be it minor or major decisions. In the problem
presented one of the factors that Miguel can use in making decision about the dilemma he
is facing is the cost of the fare in jeepney and in tricycle. If he will ride a jeepney he
will only pay ₱17.25 however if he will ride a tricycle, he needs to pay ₱24.00 So it will
be more economical if he chose to ride a jeepney. However, the cost of the fare is just one
of the factors. There are times that convenience is also considered in choosing the mode
of transportation since it is not crowded and you can reach your destination faster.
Therefore, in deciding the mode of transportation the priority of the commuters whether to be
more economical or to meet convenience is considered.

In the previous problem we determine the cost of the fare by using a table wherein we
repeatedly add the fare charge per kilometer. Thus, this type of problem can be solved
using functions, and at this point let us determine how we are going to do that.

Example no. 1

LET’S TRAVEL

A proposed Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) fare would charge ₱18.00 for the first
four stations and ₱5.00 for each additional station over the proposed fare.

a. Find the fare function f(x) where x represents the number of stations traveled b. Find
the proposed fare for 15 stations
c. Find the proposed fare for 20 stations
To solve problems that involve functions you can employ George Polya’s 4-step rule.

George Polya’s 4 – Step Rule

1. Explore. This step involves careful reading, analyzing, identifying the given and
unknown facts in the problem and expressing the unknown in terms of
variables.
2. Plan. In this step writing an equation that describes the relationships
between or among the variables is involve.
3. Solve. This step requires working out with the written equation and other
number relations to determine the required quantities that answer the question
in the problem.
4. Check. The final step that employ the use of other approaches to examine the
appropriateness of the answer.

1
Solution

a. Explore. Since the first step involves analysis and proper labeling of the known
and unknown facts we will let x = number of stations traveled. There are also
some conditions that was set in the problem such as the cost of fare which is set up
to 4 stations only thus we can represent x – 4 = number of stations traveled over
and above 4 stations

Plan. In writing an equation that will represent the relationship between the known
and unknown quantities, since we know that if we travelled up to 4 stations we must

f(x) = 18 for 0 < 𝑥 ≤ 4

pay P18, we can represent it as

However, if we travelled more than 4 stations the cost of the fare have different method
of computation so we need to consider it. Since the cost of every station after the
4th station is ₱5.00 we will now obtain
f(x) = 18 + 5(x – 4)

Now simplifying the equation will lead us to:

f(x) = 18 + 5x – 20
f(x) = 5x – 2

At this point we can say that the fare function is f(x) = 5x - 2

b. Solve. To find the fare charge for 15 stations the fare function f(x) = 5x -2 will be
used and 15 will be substituted to the function
f(15) = 5(15) – 2
= 73
By evaluating the function we obtained f(15) = 73

Check. To check whether we arrived at the correct solution you can use table or
graph.
Thus. the proposed fare for 15-station travel is ₱73.00

c. f(20) = 5 (20) – 2
= 98

The proposed fare for 20 – station travel is ₱98

Example no. 2

BINGE WATCH
Lucena Network charges ₱450.00 monthly cable connection fee plus ₱130.00 for each
hour of pay-per-view (PPV) event regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour.
a. Find payment function f(x) where x represents the number of PPV hours.
b. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours of PPV events?
c. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour of PPV events? Solution:
a. ₱450.00 = fixed monthly cable connection fee
Let x = number of PPV hours in a month
₱130.00(x) = amount of PPV payment in a specific hour
The payment function is f(x) = 450 + 130(x).

b. The monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours PPV events can be
represented by 24 < x ≤ 25.
f(x) = 450 + 130(x).
f(25) = 450 + 130(25)
= 450 + 3,250
= 3,750
The monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours of PPV event is ₱3,750.00

c. The monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour PPV events can be
represented by 0 < x ≤ 1 and since the problem states that regardless of a full hour or a
fraction of an hour the additional charge will be made on hourly basis only, thus
the value of x will be 1
f(x) = Php 450.00 + Php 130.00(x). f(1)
= Php 450.00 + Php 130.00(1)
= Php 450.00 + Php 130.00
= Php 580.00
