Functions

The document discusses functions and how to determine if a relation is a function. It provides examples of relations that are and are not functions, and explains the vertical line test to determine if a relation is a function. Piecewise functions are introduced to model situations with different rules for different inputs. Functions are evaluated by substituting input values for the variable and simplifying.

A user is charged ₱250.00 monthly for a
particular mobile plan, which includes 200
free text messages. Messages in excess of
200 are charged ₱1.00 each. Represent the
monthly cost for text messaging using the
function t(m), where m is the number of
messages sent in a month.

A certain chocolate bar costs ₱50.00 per
piece. However, if you buy more than 5
pieces they will mark down the price to
₱48.00 per piece. Use a piecewise function to
represent the cost in terms of the number of
chocolate bars bought.

The cost of hiring a catering service to serve
food for a party is ₱250.00 per head for 50
persons or less, ₱200.00 per head for 51 to
100 persons, and ₱150.00 per head for more
than 100. Represent the total cost as a
piecewise function of the number of
attendees to the party.
