Solving Problems Involving Different Kinds of Functions

(Rational, Inverse, Exponential, and Logarithmic Functions)

I. Introduction
 Recalling the functions.
Functions- is a relation where each element in the domain is related to only one
value in the range.
 Identify the kinds of function (rational, inverse, exponential, and logarithmic)

1. 𝑓(𝑥) = (Rational Function)
𝑥−2
1
2. 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = 𝑥 − 2 (Inverse Function)
3
𝑥
3. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3 (Exponential Function)
4. log7 343= y (Logarithmic Function)
II. Motivation
Identify and evaluate the functions.
III. Instruction/ Delivery
 Problem solving
Example # 1: An object is to travel a distance of 10 meters. Express velocity (v)
as a function v(t) of travel time t, in seconds. What is the velocity if the time is 20
seconds?

Example # 2: You are buying imported books from USA. As a result, you need
to mail the payment. Recently the exchange rate was 1.00 to ₱44.00.
a. Complete the table by converting US dollar into pesos.

1 5 10 50 100
₱

b. Let p represent the number of Philippine pesos and d represents the number
of US dollars. Write an equation for the function that has the number of US
dollars as input and the number of Philippine pesos as output.

c. Write an equation that converts pesos into dollars using the equation in (b).

d. What will be the conversion of ₱4, 356.00 into dollars considering the above
condition?

Example # 3: School PHS had an enrolment of 7, 125 in 2005 and by 2015 it

reached 9, 456. Assuming that the growth is exponential construct function P that
represent the enrolment of PHS in 2018. Use the data to find the enrolment.

1. A television set costs ₱35, 000.00 and a yearly cost of electricity of ₱572.00.
 a. Determine the total annual cost for television set that lasts for 10 year. Assume
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒
that cost includes electricity and depreciation (Depreciation = )
𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠
b. Write a function that gives the annual cost of a television set as a function of
the number of years.
2. The function y= 150 + 50x describes the hourly wages (y) of a math tutoring earning a flat
fee of
