Activity 1

A machine works by adding 8 to number then multiplying it into 3. Determine the output by
supplying the values of x given.

Function Machine

Example: x= 2 (2+8)x 3 = 19
1. If x=3 ________=____
2. If x= 1.5 ________=____
3. If x= 4 ________=____
4. If x=12 ________=____
5. If x= 5 ________=____

Activity 2

Solve the problem given below.

1. Give a function C that can represent the cost of buying x meals, if one meal costs
P40.
a. Write the function that describes the situation.
b. Write the cost of buying meals if you are to buy 15 orders.
2. A user is charged P300 monthly for a particular mobile plan, which includes 100
freetext messages. Messages in excess of 100 are charged P1 each.
Note: Let t(m) represent the amount paid by the consumer each month. It can be expressed by
the piecewise function:

t (m)= 300 if 0< m≤ 300

{
300+ mif m>100

Answer this: How much will the consumer pay if,

a. m= 125?
b. m= 210?
 c. m= 185?
3. A jeepney ride costs P8.00 for the first 4 kilometers, and each additional integer
kilometer adds P1.50 to the fare.
Use a piecewise function to represent the jeepney fare in terms of the distance d in
kilometers.
Complete the table.
1. Use a piecewise function to represent the jeepney fare in terms of the distance d
in kilometers.
2. Answer the table below.

Distance Fare
1-4 km
12 km
21 km
8 km

Activity 3
Do the following instruction in each item.
 Provide five real-world scenario of a scenario that can be modelled by a linear
function.
Sample Answer: Distance versus time if traveling at a constant speed.

Act. 4
A videoke machine can be rented for P1,000 for three days, but for the fourth day onwards, an
additional cost of P400 per day is added. Represent the cost of renting a videoke machine as a
piecewise function of the number of days it is rented.
1. A wire of length x is bent into the shape of a square.
a. Express the perimeter of the square as a function of x.
b. Express the area of the square as a function of x.
2. The fee for hiring a guide to explore a cave is P700. A guide can only take care of
maximum of 4 persons, and additional guides can be hired as needed. Represent the
cost of hiring guides as a function of the number of tourists who wish to explore the
cave and plot its graph.
