Sample Problems:
1
Example 1: It has been observed that the hair grows cm per week. At present, your
2
teacher’s hair is 15 cm long. How long will it take for her to have a 40-cm hair length?
SOLUTION:
Step 1: What is asked? (Determine what the problem requires you to do.)
How long will it take for her to have a 40-cm hair length?
Step 2: What is/are given? (Identify the given data in the problem.)
1
cm per week - growth rate of the hair
2
15 cm – current length of the hair
40 cm - length of the hair y after x weeks
Step 3: Write a number sentence or a function. (Represent the problem using a function
notation.)
Let x be the number of weeks; and
f (x)= y represents the total length of the hair after x weeks
Thus, the function would be
1 1
f (x)= x +15 or y= x +15
2 2
Step 4: What is the inverse of the function? (Find the inverse of the function.)
To find the inverse of f (x)=½ x+15
1
a. Let f (x)= y , hence the function can be written as y= x +15
2
b. Change y to x and x to y
1
x= y +15
2
c. Solve for y
1
x= y +15
2
1
y +15=x by symmetric property of equality,
2
(that is, if a=b, then b=a).

f (x)=2 x−30
Step 5: What is the solution to the problem? (Determine the solution to the given
problem using the inverse function.)
1
Substitute 40 which originally the value for y, and now it becomes the
value of x. (by definition of inverse function)
f −1 ( x)=2 x−30
y=2 x−30
y=2(40)−30
y=80−30
y=50 weeks
Step 6: Does your answer satisfy the original function? (Check your answer to the
original function.)
1
f (x)= x +15
2
1
40= (50)+15 by definition of inverse function (y becomes x)
2
40=40
Therefore, it will take 50 weeks to have a 40-cm long hair.
Example 2: Moral twins are making cups of homemade punch at the rate of 20 cups
per hour. How long will it take them to make 300 cups of homemade punch?
?
SOLUTION:
How long will it take them to make 300 cups of homemade punch?
20 cups per hour - rate
300 cups - number of cups of lemonade y after x hours
notation.)
Let x be the number of hours and
f (x)= y represents the total number of cups of lemonade Moral Twins
made after x hours
f (x)=20 x
To find the inverse of f (x)=20 x
a. Let f (x)= y , hence the function can be written as y = 20x
x=20 y
c. Solve for y
x=20 y
20 y=x by symmetric property of equality,

f (x)=20 x
300=20(15) by definition of inverse function (y becomes x)
300=300
Therefore, it will take 15 hours for the twins to make 300 cups of
homemade punch.
Example 3: A car rental charge is PhP15 000.00 per day plus Php. 8.00 per kilometer
travelled. If the car rental company received Php 19 000.00, how far did the car travel?
SOLUTION:
How far did the car travel?
PhP 8.00 per kilometer - rate
PhP 15 000.00 - basic car rental
PhP19 000.00 - total amount of rental y received by the
car rental company for x distance covered
notation.)
Let x be the distance travelled; and
f ( x )= y represents total amount of rental y received by the car rental
company for x distance covered
3
f (x)=15000+ 8 x or f (x)=8 x +15 000
To find the inverse of f (x)=8 x +15 000
a. Let f (x)= y , hence the function can be written as
y=8 x +15 000
x=8 y +15 000
c. Solve for y
x=8 y +15 000
8 y +1500=x by symmetric property of equality,
8 y=x – 15 000

19 000=19 000
Therefore, they travelled a distance of 500 kilometers.

Lesson 2: Representing Real-life Situations

using Exponential Functions
There are a lot of real-life situations which can be represented or modelled by

exponential functions. Examples of naturally occurring relationships that can be represented
or modelled by exponential functions are, but not limited to, population growth, exponential
decay, compound interest, and growth of an epidemic.
Here are some definitions or concepts that will help you represent real-life situations
using exponential functions.
Definition 1:
Exponential11_Q1_LP

5 with base b.
5
The function f(x) = bx where b>0, b≠1 and x is any real number.
 Here are some examples of exponential functions whose base b is greater
than zero, that is b> 1.
a. y=2x where b=2

b. y=3 x+1 where b=3
c. f ( x )=5 2 x−1 where b =5
 Here are some examples of exponential function whose base b is greater

than zero but less than 1, that is 0< b<1
1 x
a. y= ()
2
where b =1/2
1 x
b. y= ()
3
where b =1/3
c. f (x)=0.1x where b = 0.1
 Counterexamples. Functions below are NOT exponential functions.

a. y=(−2)x is not an exponential function because b=−2
which is less than 0, by definition, b>0.
b. f (x)=1x is not an exponential function because b=1,
by definition, the value of b should not be 1, that is b≠1.
 You must remember that all functions shall use the notation f(x) or y with
equal (=) symbol, such as in the exponential function f ( x )=2 x or y=2.
Definition 2:
A transformation of an exponential function with base b is a function
of the form f (x)=a b x−c +d or y=a b x−c +d
where b> 0 or 0< b<1, and b ≠ 1 and a, c and d are real
Based on the transformation of exponential function, generally we can model a certain

real-life situations such as the situations below:
Population growth or exponential growth can be generally modeled by

x
y=a b x or y=a (1+ r )
where,
y is the population after x time;
a is the initial amount
b is the growth factor which is equal to 1+r
r is the rate of growth as decimal
x is the number of time interval had passed
RO_General Mathematics_Grade 11_Q1_LP 5 modelled by x
Exponential decay can be generally y=a b x or y=a (1−r )
6
where,
y is the population after t time;
b is the decay factor which is equal to 1−r
nt
r
Compound Interest can be generally modeled by A=P 1+ ( ) n
where ,
A is the compound amount;
P is the principal amount
r rate of interest
t is the time
n is the frequency of conversion or number of conversion period
Note:
 conversion period is the time between successive conversions of interest.
 It can be annually meaning n=1; semi-annually, n=2; quarterly, n=4 ;
monthly, n=12.
In representing real-life situations using exponential functions, we must follow
these steps:
Steps in Representing Real-life Situations using Exponential Functions

1. What is the type of real-life scenario? (Determine whether it is a population growth,
exponential decay, compound interest, etc.)
2. What is the exponential model that can be used? (Determine the exponential model
appropriate to be used.)
3. What are the given? (Identify the given data in the problem.)
4. Write a number sentence or write the function. (Represent the problem using the
exponential function by substituting the given to the generic exponential function).
Let us try the following sample problems:

Example 1:
In this time of pandemic, a certain province has initially 3 infected cases of covid-19
virus. If the virus will not be contained, it will double every month. What function will
represent its growth after x months?
SOLUTION:
Step 1: What is the type of real-life scenario? (Determine whether it is a population
growth or exponential growth, exponential decay, compound interest, …).
The problem is on population growth or exponential growth.

Step 2: What is the exponential model that can be used? (Determine the exponential
model appropriates to be used.)
x
where, y is the population after x time;
Step 3: What are the given? (Identify the given data in the problem.)
a=3
b=2 (because it says doubles)
x=x months
Step 4: Write a number sentence or write the function. (Represent the problem using
the exponential function by substituting the given to the generic exponential
form).
y=a b x
x
y=3 ( 2 )
Therefore, the function that represents the population after x years is

y = 3 (2)x

annual rate of increase of 1.5%. What function models the future growth?

y=a b x

or
y=a (1+ r )x
y=32 167 ( 1+0.015 ) x
y=32 167 ( 1.015 )x
Therefore, the function that represents the population after x years is

x
y=32 167 ( 1.015 )
Example 3:
The half-life life of a certain radio-active substance is 10 days and there are 20 g
initially. Determine the remaining substance after x days? What function will determine
the remaining substance?
SOLUTION:

The problem is on exponential decay or half-life.

y=a b x or y=a (1−r ) x

where,
y is the population after t time;
b is the decay factor which is equal to 1-r
r is the rate of decay as decimal
a=20 g

Lesson 3: Exponential Functions, Equations and

Inequalities
In distinguishing exponential function, exponential equation and exponential
inequality, we must be guided with the following definitions.
Definition 1:
An exponential expression is an expression of the form a·bx-c + d
where a, b, c and d are any real numbers, b>0 or 0<b<1 and b≠1.
(General Mathematics LM p. 82)
The mathematical expressions below are examples of exponential expressions.
a. 2x d. 0.12x-1 - 3
x +1
b. 3 e. (½)-x +3
2x-1
c. 4 +1 f. 0.55-x
 You must remember that an exponential expression has the following
characteristics:
a. The base b should be positive, that is b> 0, and b ≠ 1. Just like in the
examples above, all examples are having base b which is greater than
zero and not equal to 1, b> 0 and b ≠ 1. The examples a, b and c have
base 2, 3 and 4 respectively which are all greater than 1; and examples
d, e and f have base of 0.1, ½, and 0.5 respectively which are all greater
than zero and less than 1, that is 0< b<1.
b. All variables must be found at the exponents. The variable x in all the
examples is in the exponents.
Definition 2:
An exponential equation is an equation involving exponential
expressions. It is an equation which variable occurs as exponent.

b. x 2−1=8 is a quadratic equation
c. ( x−1 )3=7 is a cubic equation.
d. 2 x 4−32=0 is a polynomial equation.

C. All examples in A and B are exponential functions having base b> 0 but b ≠ 1 with
the variable x in the exponent of base b.
 Counterexamples. Functions below are NOT exponential functions.

c. y= (−2 )2 is not an exponential function because b=−2
which is less than 0, By definition, b> 0 butb ≠ 1.
d. f (x)=1x is not an exponential function because b=1. By
