3. Review
In order to refresh your memory from our past
lesson, let us have an activity, entitled Pick a
Fries. Listen to the mechanics.
1. I have here a big fries, each piece of
this fries has a question. I will select a
student to come here in front to pick a
fries and answer the question written
on it.
2. The process will continue until last
piece of the fries is answered.

groups. Each group will be given materials
needed in this activity (manila paper, marker
and tape).
Listen to the mechanics.

1. I’ll be presenting a function machine

and a set of input to be process in the
machine.
2. Every member will help each other to
find the output in the given machine.
The first group to write and raise the
correct output will gain 1 point.
3. The group that will have the highest
score will be the winner.

For those who got correct tap your shoulder

and say to yourself, you did great and for
those who got wrong tap your shoulder and
say, do much better next time.

Right. What value have you developed while The value that I develop is cooperation ma’am.
doing the activity?

Very good. Why is cooperation important in It is important because it can help us to finish
performing an activity? the activity successfully.

Exactly.
 B. Developmental Activity

Teacher’s Activity Students’ Activity

1. Presentation
What have you observed from the function We substitute the given input to the variable x
machine activity? to determine the output.

Great idea. The activity earlier has something

to do with our lesson for today which is
Evaluating Functions.

Here are the learning objectives that you will At the end of the lesson, the students should
attain after our discussion. be able to:
1. evaluate function;
2. solve problems involving function;
3. develop cooperation during
discussion and group activity.

Think the functions as a function machine,
evaluating a function is analogous to providing
our machine a valid input. For clearer
understanding here is the definition of
evaluating a function.
Evaluating a function means replacing the
variable in the function, in this case 𝑥, with a
value from the function’s domain and
computing for the result. To denote that we are
evaluating 𝑓 at 𝑥 for some 𝑥 in the domain of
𝑓, we write 𝑓(𝑥).

In short, we substitute the given value of x to

evaluate the value of 𝑓(𝑥) or 𝑦.

Let us have an example, evaluate the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1 if 𝑥 = 1.5

𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1 if 𝑥 = 1.5. 𝑓 (1.5) = 2 (1.5) + 1
𝑓(1.5) = 4
What is the value of the given function? The value of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 1 if 𝑥 =
1.5 is 4.

Correct. For another example, evaluate 𝑦 = 2𝑥+1 if 𝑥 = 7

2𝑥+1 𝑥−1
𝑦= if 𝑥 = 7
𝑥−1
2(7) + 1
Any volunteer to solve this on the board 𝑦=
7 −1
15
𝑦=
6
𝑦 = 2.5
State the value of y. The value of y is 2.5 ma’am.

Exactly. Is it clear class? Yes ma’am.

Alright. Let us have a seatwork, on a scratch

paper evaluate the given function. You have 3
minutes to do the activity.

Seatwork: Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 1, find the

following values
1. 𝑓(3)
2. 𝑓(6)

Kindly solve this on the board. 1. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 1

𝑓 (3) = 2(3) 2 − 3(3) + 1
𝑓(3) = 2(9) − 9 + 1
𝑓(3) = 18 − 9 + 1
𝑓 (3) = 10
 2. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 1
𝑓 (6) = 2(6) 2 − 3(6) + 1
𝑓(6) = 2(36) − 18 + 1
𝑓(6) = 72 − 18 + 1
𝑓 (6) = 55

Excellent. Do you have any question? None ma’am.

If there’s none, let’s apply the concept you’ve

learned in real life situation.

3. Application

In real-world, functions are mathematical

representations of many input-output
situations. Functions are widely used in
disciplines such as biology, chemistry,
economics, statistics and engineering.

For instance, how can we identify our daily

expenses if we aim to have a business?

Let us all solve that through group activity.

Listen to the mechanics

1. Analyze and solve the given word

problem by evaluating the function.
2. Write your answer on the strip of
manila paper provided for your group.
3. The first group to paste and got the
highest score will be the winner will
receive an additional 10 points for
participation.

Problem:
Your group decided to sell snacks in the Given: 100 snacks, 150 snacks
nearby school. In one day, your group spends 𝐶(𝑥) = 25𝑥 + 200
Php. 200 for rent and Php 25 for each snack 𝑥 = 100
item you prepare. Your expenses in a single 𝐶(𝑥) = 25𝑥 + 200
day can be expressed as the function 𝐶 100) = 25(100) + 200
(
𝐶(𝑥) = 25𝑥 + 200, where 𝑥 is the number of 𝐶(100) = 2500 + 200
snacks and 𝐶 (𝑥) is your daily expenses in 𝐶(100) = 2700
pesos. How much is your expenses if the The daily expenses if the group prepare 100
group prepare 100 snacks? 150 snacks? snacks is Php 2700.

𝑥 = 150
𝐶(𝑥) = 25𝑥 + 200
𝐶(150) = 25(150) + 200
𝐶(150) = 3750 + 200
𝐶(150) = 3950
The daily expenses if the group prepare 150
snacks is Php 3950.
Excellent. Congratulations to the winning
group you will have an additional 10 points.
Don’t worry other groups I appreciated your
efforts that’s why you will receive an additional
5 points for participation.
 4. Generalization

To sum up our lesson for today, what have you I learned the concept of evaluating functions.
learned from our discussion?

Very good. Who can give other realization? There is a lot of application of evaluating
functions in real life situation.

Correct. How can we evaluate a function given

the value of x? By substitution ma’am.

Exactly. What values have you develop during

the discussion and activity? I developed the value of cooperation ma’am.

Precisely. Do you have questions and

clarifications regarding to our topic? None ma’am.

If there’s none, prepare for a quiz.
