    Lesson 1: FUNCTIONS: FUNCTIONS As Representation of Real-Life Situations

    Uploaded by

    Lumpa Ramos
    The document discusses functions and their evaluation and operation. It defines a function as a relation between a domain and range where each domain value corresponds to exactly one range value. Functions can model real-life situations and be represented visually as a "function machine." The document also provides examples of evaluating functions by inputting values and performing operations, and operating on functions by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them.

    Lesson 1: FUNCTIONS

    Before we proceed with the first lesson, what have you remembered about
    functions and relations?

    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 range.

    A function is a relation of rule of correspondence between two elements


    (domain and range) such that each element in the domain corresponds to exactly
    one element in range.

    FUNCTIONS as Representation 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.

    FUNCTION MACHINE
    Functions can be illustrated as a machine where there is the input and output.

    Example:
    If height (H) is a function of age (a), give a function H that can represent the
    height of a person in an age, if every year the height is added by 2 inches.
    Solution:
    Since every year thee height is added by 2 inches, then the height function is
    (a)= 2+a

    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 this:

    Formula 1 if x is in domain 1
    F(x) = Formula 2 if x is in domain 2
    Formula 3 if x is in domain 3
    Example:
    A chocolate bar costs $50 per piece. However, if
    you buy more than 5 pieces, they will mark down the price to $48 per piece. Use a
    piecewise function to represent the cost in terms of the number of chocolate bars
    bought.

    $50 if 0 < x < 5


    F(x)=
    $48 if x > 5
    Lesson 2: EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONS
    Evaluating function is the process of determining the value of the function at the
    number assigned to a given variable. Just like in evaluating algebraic expressions,
    to evaluate function you just need to:
    a. Replace each letter in the expression with assigned value and,
    b. Perform the operations in the expression using the correct order of operations.

    Example 1: Example 2:
    F(x)= 2x – 4, find F(3): F(x)= 3x +7, find F(-2):
    Solution: Solution:
    F(3) = 2(3) – 4 F(-2) = 3(-2) +7

    F(3) = 6 – 4 F(-2) = -6 + 7

    F(3) = 2 F(-2) = 1

    Lesson 3: OPERATION OF FUNCTIONS


    Function with overlapping domains can be added, subtracted, multiplied and
    divided. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, then for all x in the domain of both
    functions the sum, difference, product and quotient are defined as follows:
    Sum: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) Difference: (f – g)(x) = f(x) –
    g(x) Product: (f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x) Quotient:
    (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x)
    Example 1:
    F(x)= x+5 G(x)= 2x-1
    Find:
    (f + g)(x) (f*g)(x) (f * g)(3)
    (f – g)(x) (f + g)(3) (f - g)(3)

    Solutions:
    (f + g)(x) = (x+5) + (2x-1) (f + g)(3) = (3+5) + (2(3)-1) (f*g)(3) = (3+5) * (2(3)-1)
    = 2x+x+5-1 = 8 + (6-1) = 8 * (6-1)
    = 3x+4 = 8+5 = 8*5
    = 13 = 40

    (f – g)(x) = (x+5) - (2x-1) (f – g)(3) = (3+5) - (2(3)-1)


    = 2x+x-5-1 = 8 – (6-1)
    = -x+6 = 8–5
    = 3

    (f*g)(x) = (x+5) * (2x-1)


    = 2x²+ 9x – 5
