GENERAL MATHEMATICS

Introductory Message

For the Learner:

At the this subject you will demonstrates understanding and appreciation
of key concepts and principle of mathematics as applied, using appropriate
technology, in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, making connections,
representations, and decision in real life. And you will be train to become critical
and analytical thinkers and creative problem solvers. Focuses on sufficient
mastery of content through easy-to-follow lesson presentation. Ensure college
readiness and prepares for entrepreneurship and promotes financial literacy.

Introduction
 Accurately construct mathematical models to represent real-life situations using functions.
 Represents real-life situations using functions, including piece-wise functions.
 Pre assessment (if needed)

Development
 HOOK and Hold ACTIVITY
Match the date of birth to the name of corresponding hero.

Name of Heroes (x) Birthdays

1. Jose Rizal a. March 22, 1869

2. Andres Bonifacio b. June 19,1861

 Activity(ies) for the MELCs

In mathematics and another diciplines, function occur repeatedly in different forms.
Here are some real-life situations that make use of functions.
a. The area A of a circle is a function of its radius r.
A=π r 2
b. The approximate amount of community tax C (x) paid by a taxpayer whose income is
x ( in ₱ ) is
x
C(x) =5+
1000
c. The table below shows the PHILPOST rates for sending printed materials.

Weight Price

more than 20 g but not over 50 g ₱32

more than 50 g but not over 100 g ₱54
more than 100 g but not over 250 g ₱132
more than 250 g but not over 500 g ₱263
more than 500 g but not over 1000 g ₱525

 Discussion of the activity

These real life situations show that the quantity depends on, or corresponds to,or maps onto another
quantity. Moreover, these situations incorporate three elements – a set of inputs, a function rule or
rule of correspondence, and a set of outputs. These are summarized in the table that follow ;

Set of Input Function Rule Set of Output

a. Area of circle All radii r 2 All area A
A=π r

b. Amount of a tax All income x x All Tax amount

C(x)=5+ C(x)
1000

c. Postal Price Weight of material { ( w ≤20 , ₱ 14 ) } , ₱ 14 , ₱ 32

to be sent ( 20< w ≤20 , ₱ 32 ) ,
( 50< w ≤100 , ₱ 54 ) ,
{ , ₱ 54 , ₱ 132 ,
₱ 263 , ₱ 525 }
( 100< w≤ 250 , ₱ 132 ) ,
( 250< w ≤500 , ₱ 263 ) ,
( 500< w≤ 1000 , ₱ 525 )

*Note that for the element in the set of inputs, these corresponds one and only one element in the set of
outputs based on the function rule. However, different elements in the set of inputs may produce the same
element in the set of outputs.
