Activity Title : Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
Learning Competency: Illustrates linear inequalities in two variables (M8AL-IIa-1)
Learning Target :1) Define linear inequalities in two variables.
2) Determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the given inequality.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module; page 222

A linear inequality in two variables is an inequality that can be written in one of the following forms:
Ax + By < C Ax + By ≤ C
Ax + By > C Ax + By ≥ C

where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are both not equal to zero.
Examples:
1. 4x – y > 1 3. 8x – 3y ≥ 14
2. x + 5y ≤ 9 4. 2y > x – 5

 The solution of a linear inequality in two variables like Ax + By > C is an ordered pair (x, y) that
produces a true statement when the values of x and y are substituted into the inequality.

Example:

Is (1, 2) a solution to the inequality

Yes, (1, 2) is a solution.

Exercises:

A. Which of the statements below show linear inequality in two variables?


4m + 5n > 9 x2 + y2 ≤ 10

Activity Title : Graph of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables (Part 1)
Learning Competency: Graphs linear inequalities in two variables (M8AL-IIa-3)
Learning Target : Illustrate and graphs the linear inequalities in two variables on the coordinate plane.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module; page 222

The graph of a linear inequality in two variables is the set of


all points in the rectangular coordinate system whose
ordered pairs satisfy the inequality. When a line is graphed in
the coordinate plane, it separates the plane into two regions
called half- planes. The line that separates the plane is called
the plane divider.

Steps in graphing an inequality in two variables

1. Replace the inequality symbol with an equal sign. The resulting


equation becomes the plane divider.

2. Graph the resulting equation with a solid line if the original inequality contains ≤ or ≥ symbol. The solid line
indicates that all points on the line are part of the solution of the inequality. If the inequality contains > or <
symbol, use a dash or a broken line which indicates that the coordinates of all points on the line are not part
of the solution set of the inequality.

3. Choose three points in one of the half- planes that are not on the line. Substitute the coordinates of these
points into the inequality. If the coordinates of these points satisfy the inequality or make the inequality true,
shade the half-plane or the region on one side of the plane divider where these points lie. Otherwise, other
side of the plane divider will be shaded.

Example:
Graph the inequality y ≥ -x + 1
Solution:
y = -x + 1
let x = 0
y=0+1
y=1 , (0, 1)

let y = 0
0 = -x + 1
x=1 , (1, 0)

Get 1 ordered pair from the shaded region. Like


(1, 2) then substitute it to y ≥ -x + 1.
?
So, 2 ≥ -1 + 1
2≥0 true

Exercise:
Graph y < 2x + 4 on the coordinate plane.

Learning Competency : Solves a system of linear inequalities in two variables (M8AL-IIb-1)
Learning Target : To solve the systems of linear inequalities in two variables by graphing.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 272- 273

To graph the solution to a system of inequalities, follow this procedure:


1. Draw the graph of each inequality on the same coordinate plane. Shade the appropriate half-plane.
Recall that if all points on the line are included in the solution, it is a closed half plane, and the line is
solid. On the other hand, if the points on the line are not part of the solution of the inequality, it is an
open half plane and the line is broken.
2. The region where shaded areas overlap is the graphical solution to the system. If the graphs do not
overlap, then the system has no solution.

Graph the solution to this system of inequalities.

The solution to the system is the region with both shadings

Word Problem Solving Strategies


 Read through the entire problem.
 Highlight the important information and key words that you need to solve the problem.
 Identify your variables.
 Write the equation or inequality.
 Solve.
 Write your answer in a complete sentence.
 Check or justify your answer.

Examples:
1.) Keith has P 5000 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have at least P2000 in
the account by the end of the summer. He withdraws P 250 each week for food and movie tickets.
a.) Write an inequality that represents Keith’s situation.
b.) How many weeks can Keith withdraw money from his account? Justify your answer.
SOLUTION:
a.) Let w = number of weeks
5000 – 250w ≥ 2000
b.) Solve the inequality
5000 – 250w ≥ 2000
5000 – 5000 – 250w ≥ 2000 – 5000 Subtract 5000 from both sides
−250 w −3000
≥ Divide -250
−250 −250

w ≤ 12 Reverse your sign since you divided by


a negative number
Proof:
5000 – 250w ≥ 2000
5000 – 250(12) ≥ 2000
5000 – 3000 ≥ 2000
2000 ≥ 2000
Conclusion: Any number of weeks less than 12, his account would stay above P2000.00

2.) Sarah is selling bracelets and earrings too make money for summer vacation. The bracelets cost P200 and
earrings cost P 300. She needs to make at least P4800.00
a.) Write an inequality to represent the income from the jewellery sold
b.) How many bracelets and earring could Sarah sell?
SOLUTION: Let x = number of bracelets sold
y = number of earrings sold
200x + 300y ≥ 4800
 Graph the inequality and shade the region that would satisfy the inequality.
To graph this, find the x and y –intercepts.

Activity Title : Definition of Function and Relation
Learning Competency: Illustrates a relation and a function (M8AL-IIc-1)
Learning Targets : To define function and Relation
References : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp.138-144
http://www.regentsprep.org/

A relation is any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first coordinates is called the domain of the relation.
The set of all second coordinates is called the range of the relation.
 Representations of Relations
Illustrative Example
Suppose you are working in a fast food company. You earn Php 40 per hour. Your earnings are
related to the number of hours of work.
Questions:
1. How much will you earn if you work 4 hours a day? How about 5 hours? 6 hours?
7 hours? Or 8 hours?
2. Express each in an ordered pair.
3. Based on your answer in item 2, what is the domain? What is the range?

Solutions:
1. The earning depends on the number of hours worked. An amount of Php 160 is earned for
working 4 hours a day, Php 200 for 5 hours, Php 240 for 6 hours, Php 280 for 7 hours and Php
320 in 8 hours.
2. (4, 160), (5, 200), (6, 240), (7, 280), and (8, 320)
3. The domain of the relation is {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. The range of the relation is {160, 200,
240, 280, 320}.

Aside from ordered pairs, a relation may be represented in four other ways: (1) table, (2)
mapping diagram, (3) graph, and (4) rule.
x y
Table
-2 -4
The table describes clearly the behavior of the value of y as the value of x changes. Tables
can be generated based on the graph. Below is an example of a table of values presented -1 -2
horizontally. At the right is also a table of values that is presented vertically.
0 0
Mapping Diagram
1 2

Subsequently, a relation can be described by using a diagram as 2 4


shown at the right. In this example, -2 is mapped to
-4, -1 to -2, 0 to 0, 1 to 2, and 2 to 4.

Graph

At the right is an example of a graphical representation of a relation. It


illustrates the relationship of the values of x and y.

Exercises. Answer the following questions


1. Suppose the bicycle rental at the Rizal Park is worth Php 20 per hour. Your sister would like to rent
a bicycle for amusement.
a. How much will your sister have to pay if she would like to rent a bicycle for 1 hour?
2 hours? 3 hours?
b. Based on your answers in item 1, write ordered pairs in the form (time, amount).
c. Based on your answers in item 2, what is the domain? What is the range?
d. How are rental time and cost of rental related to each other?

Activity Title : Identifying Relations which are Functions
Learning Competency : Verifies if a given relation is a function(M8AL-IIc-2)
Learning Targets : To determine whether a given mapping diagram is a function or mere relation.
To give some real life relationships which describe function.
Reference : Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry and Statistics
Soledad Jose-Dilao et al pp. 4-6
A function is a special type of relation. It is a relation in which every element in the domain is mapped to
exactly one element in the range. Furthermore, a set of ordered pairs is a function if no two ordered pairs have
equal abscissas.

Samples 1 and 3 are functions while sample 2 is a mere relation because domain -3 is repeated.
To define a function in a given real life situation, we will consider the one –to –one correspondence,
many-to-one, and one –to – many relationships. One – to-one and many –to-one are examples of a
function while one- to- many is an example of relation.

Examples: The relationships indicated in the family tree may also be represented by arrow diagrams as shown
below:

Jocelyn, and Cathy. This the children of Mary. This one-to- one relation which
illustrates one-to-many which is shows a many-to-one
a relation. relation. shows a function.

Horizontal and Vertical Lines


If every vertical line intersects the graph no more than once, the graph represents a function.

Examples below are graphs that represent function


3.
The horizontal line represents a function. It can be described by the equation y = c, where c is any
constant. It is called a Constant Function. However, a vertical line which can be described by the equation x
= c is not a function.
A relation may also be represented by an equation in two variables or the so-called rule.
Example 1. The rule 3x + y = 4 represents a relation. If we substitute the value of x = -2 in the
equation, then the value of y would be:
3x + y = 4
3(-2) + y = 4 Subsituting x by -2.
-6 + y = 4 Simplification
-6 + y + 6 = 4 + 6 Addition Property of
y = 10 Equality
Simplification

Similarly, if x = -1, then y = 7, and so on. Thus, we can have a set of ordered pairs
{…, (-2, 10), (-1, 7), (0, 4), (1, 1), (2, -2),...}. Besides, a rule is a function if it can be written in y = f(x).

Example 2
Tell whether the rule 3x + y = 4 a function or not.

Solutions
3x + y = 4
3x + y + (-3x) = 4 + (-3x) Why?
y = -3x + 4 Why?

The rule above is a function since it can be written in y = f(x); that is, y = -3x + 4.

Note that all functions are relations but some relations are not functions.

A. Determine whether the mapping diagram/ graph/ ordered pair/ rule is a function or a mere relation.

Activity Title : Determining the Domain and Range of the Function
Learning Competency : Finds the domain and range of a function (M8AL-IId-1)
Learning Targets : To determine the domain and range of the given function
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 158-159

The domain of the function is the set of all permissible values of x that give real values for y.
Similarly, the range of the function is the set of permissible values for y or f(x) that give the values of x real
numbers.

Illustrative Examples
A. Find the domain and the range of each graph below.
a.) b.)

Solutions:
In (a), arrow heads indicate that the graph of the function extends in both directions. It extends to the left and
right without bound; thus, the domain D of the function is the set of real numbers. Similarly, it extends
upward and downward without bound; thus, the range R of function is the set of all real numbers. In symbols,
D = {x|x ∈ ℜ}, R = {y|y ∈ ℜ}

In (b), arrow heads indicate that the graph of the function is extended to the left and right without bound, and
downward, but not upward, without bound. Thus, the domain of the function is the set of real numbers, while
the range is any real number less than or equal to 0. That is,
D = {x|x ∈ ℜ}, R = {y|y ≤ 0}

B. Determine the domain of each function below.


1. f(x) = 3x
In f(x) = 3x, there is no value of x that makes the function f undefined. Thus, the domain of f(x) = 3x is
the set of real numbers or {x|x ∈ ℜ}.

2. f(x) = √ x−2
In f(x) = √ x−2, the domain of the function is the set of values of x that will not make √ x−2an
imaginary number . Examples of these values of x are 2, 2.1, 3, 3.74, 4, 5 and so on. However, x = 1 cannot be
because it can give the value of the function
√ 1−2 = √−1
Which is an imaginary number where the calculator yields an Error or a Math Error. The Numbers between 1
and 2 neither work. Thus, the domain of the function is x is greater than or equal to 2, or
{x|x ≥2}. To get a real number number, the radicand must be greater than or equal to 0. That is, x – 2 ≥ 0
which gives x ≥2 if simplified.

Note:
The value of the function will not be a real number if it is an imaginary number or undefined.

Activity Title : Definition of a linear function
Learning Competency : Illustrates a linear function (M8AL-IId-2)
Learning Target : To define a linear function f(x) = mx + b
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 172- 173

A function is linear if and only if its equation can be written in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b,
where m and b are real numbers.
It is also defined as a function of first degree or the highest exponent of the variable x is 1.
Its graph is a line with slope m and y-intercept b. If m ≠0, then the degree of the function is 1.
If m = 0 and b ≠0, then the degree of the function is 0.
If m = 0 and b = 0, then the degree of the function is not defined.

Illustrative Example 1
Is the function f defined by f(x) = 2x + 3 a linear function?
If yes, determine the slope m and the y-intercept b.

Solution:
Yes, the function f defined by f(x) = 2x + 3 is a linear function since the highest exponent (degree) of x is one
and it is written in the form f(x) = mx + b. The slope m is 2 while the y-intercept b is 3.

Illustrative Example 2
Is the function h defined by h(x) = x2 + 5x + 4 a linear function?

Solution:
The function h is not a linear function because its degree (the highest exponent of x) is 2, not 1.

Exercises:

Determine whether each is a linear function or not. Check Yes if it is a linear function and No if it is not. Write
the degree of the function. For linear functions, identify its slope m and y-intercept b.

Activity Title : Describe Me (Part I)
Learning Competency : Illustrates a linear function (M8AL-IId-2)
Learning Target : To describe linear function using the set of ordered pairs.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 175- 176

A linear function can be described using the set of ordered pairs.

Illustrative Example
Determine the values of the function f if f(x) = 2x – 1 at x = -3 and 2. Give their meanings and ordered pairs.
Solution:
If x = -3, then f(x) = 2x – 1 becomes
f(-3) = 2(-3) – 1
f(-3) = -6 – 1
f(-3) = -7, which means the value of f at x = -3 is -7.
Or, if x = -3, then y = -7.
This gives the ordered pair (-3, -7). Recall that an ordered pair can be written (x, y).

If x = 2, then f(x) = 2x – 1 becomes


f(2) = 2(2) – 1
f(2) = 4 – 1
f(2) = 3, which means the value of f at x = 2 is 3.
Or, if x = 2, then y = 3. This gives the ordered pair (2, 3).

Exercise

A. Determine the values (a) f(-3), (b) f(1), and (c) f(4) in each of the following functions.

1. f(x) = 2x

2. f(x) = 2x + 1

3. f(x) = -3x – 4

Activity Title : Describe Me (Part 2)
Learning Competency : Illustrates a linear function (M8AL-IId-2)
Learning Target : To describe linear function using graphs.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 175- 176

Determine the values of the function f if f(x) = x + 1 at x = -3 and 0. Tabulate, then graph.
If x = -3, then f(x) = x + 1 becomes
f(-3) = -3 + 1
f(-3) = -2, which means the value of f at x = -3 is -2.
Or, if x = -3, then y = -2. This gives the ordered pair (-3, -2). Recall that an ordered pair can be written (x, y).

If x = 0, then f(x) = x + 1 becomes


f(0) = 0 + 1
f(0) = 0 + 1
f(0) = 1, which means the value of f at x = 0 is 1
Or, if x = 0, then y = 1. This gives another ordered pair (0, 1).

A linear function can be described using its graph.


This implies that the graph of the function f will pass through the points (-3, -2) and (0, 1) Out of the values, we
can have the table below:
x -3 0
f(x) -2 1

EXERCISES:
Given the functions below, evaluate the following: f(-2), f(-1), f(0), f(1) and f(2). Complete the table of values
of each function below. Draw the graph in a graphing paper.

Activity Title : Describe Me (Part 3)
Learning Competency : Illustrates a linear function (M8AL-IId-2)
Learning Target : To describe function using equation.
Reference : Mathematics Learner’s Module pp. 181 -183

Linear Equations
Aside from the sets of ordered pairs and the graph, a linear function f defined by f(x) = mx + b can also
be represented by its equation where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Illustrative Example:
Question 1:
Does the equation 3x + 2y = 6 describe a linear function?
If yes, determine the slope and the y-intercept.

Solution:
The equation 3x + 2y = 6 can be solved for y:
3x + 2y = 6 Given
3x + 2y + (-3x) = 6 + (-3x) Addition Property of Equality
2y = -3x + 6 Simplification
½ (2y) = ½ (-3x + 6) Multiplication Property of Equality
y = -32x + 3 Simplification

The function f(x) = -32x + 3 or y = -32x + 3 can be expressed in the form 3x + 2y = 6 with slope m = -32 while
the y-intercept b = 3.

Question 2:
Does the equation x2 + y = 6 describe a linear function?

Solution:
No, because the degree is 2.

EXERCISES:
Determine whether the equation is a linear function. If yes, determine the slope and the y – intercept.
1.) y = 2x + 1

2.) 5x – 2y + 6 = 0

3.) 3x2 + 6x – 1 = 5

4.) 2y + 2x = 6

Activity Title : If-Then Statements (1)
Learning Competency : Determines the relationship between the hypothesis and the conclusion of
an if-then statement (M8GE-IIf-1)
Learning Target : Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of if-then statement
Reference : Mathematics 8 Learner’s Module, pages 321 – 324

 An if-then statement or a conditional statement is composed of two clauses: the if- clause and the
then- clause. We can denote a letter for each clause, p for the if- clause and q for the then-clause. The
statement is in the form “If p then q.” Conditional statements are formed by joining two statements
and q using the words if and then. The p statement is called the hypothesis and the q statement is the
conclusion.
This is noted as
 A simple flow of reasoning from the if-clause to the then-clause is called simple implication.

Example:
1.) If you get good grades, then you will get into a good college.
The part after the "if": you get good grades - is called a hypothesis and the part after the "then" - you
will get into a good college - is called a conclusion.

2.) If a polygon is a rectangle, then its opposite sides are parallel.


Hypothesis: A polygon is a rectangle.
Conclusion: Its opposite sides are parallel.

Learning Target : Identify the proof applied.
Reference : Mathematics 8 Learner’s Module, pages 353-354

One of the tools used in proving is reasoning, specifically deductive reasoning.


A proof is a logical argument in which each statement you make is supported/ justified by given
information, definitions, axioms, postulates, theorems, and previously proven statements.
Proofs can be written in different ways:
1. Paragraph Form/ Informal Proof:
The paragraph or informal proof is the type of proof where you write a paragraph to explain
why a conjecture for a given situation is true.
1. Two-Column Form/ Formal Proof/ Direct Proof
One column for statement and another for reason
2. Flowchart Form:
A flowchart-proof organizes a series of statements in a logical order, starting with the given
statements. Each statement together with its justification is written in a box. Arrows are used to
show how each statement leads to another. It can make ones logic visible and help others follow
the reasoning.
3. Indirect Proof
An indirect proof usually is paragraph form, the opposite of the statement to be proven is
assumed true until the assumption leads to contradiction.

Exercise:
From the choices below, select the appropriate proof being described. Write the letter of the correct
answer before the number.

a. direct proof b. formal proof c. indirect proof d. two column proof

Learning Competency : Writes a proof (M8GE-Iii-j-1)
Learning Target : Explain the need for defined terms previously introduced
Reference : http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Congruent-Triangles- Geometry-Proof

STEPS in WRITING GEOMETRIC PROOF:


1. Set up a two-column proof format. The the left-hand column should be labeled "Statements" and the
right-hand column labeled "Reasons."
2. Copy the diagram onto your paper, especially if the teacher requires you to do so.
3. List your givens as the first step in your statements column. Under the reasons column, you should
write "given."
4. Translate the givens into useful information. For each given, you'll want to think what you could do
with that knowledge. At this point in the proof, most of your reasons will be definitions.
Example: If the one of the givens is "Point C is the midpoint of AB," your statement would read "AC =
CB" and your reason would be "Definition of midpoint," or the full theorem: If a segment has a
midpoint, then it divides the segment into two congruent parts.
5. Transfer every congruency statement you've found so far, including the givens, into the diagram. 
Example: Congruent sides get marked with hash marks; congruent angles are marked with arcs.
6. Take another look at the "Prove" line of your problem. If it's the same as your last statement, then
you are finished.

Exercise:

Answer the question below.
