Functions
First semester, first quarter, General Mathematics G11 week 1
I.Brief Discussion
A function is a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered
pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair.
Functions have always been represented by a single equation. But in many real-life problems,
especially in business, a function can have more than one equation. It can consist of a combination of
equations such as a combination of linear and nonlinear equations, or a combination of nonlinear
equations. Such functions are called piecewise functions, where each equation corresponds to a
certain domain of the function.

Discussion/Examples:
LESSON 1: Mathematical Modelling Using Functions
A. Writing Piecewise Functions
Maria rides a jeepney to go to the market which is 14 km away from her house. The
fare rate is P8.00 for the first 4 km and an additional P1.40 for every kilometre or a fraction of
it thereafter. What mathematical model can be drawn out from the given situation?

The model for this problem is given by rule

Solution:
Number of kilometres Fare Relationship
First 4 km 8.00
5 km = ( 1 + 4 ) km 8.00 + 1.40 (5 – 4) 1.40 (5 – 4) = 9.40
6 km = ( 2 + 4) km 8.00 + 1.40 (6 – 4) 1.40 (6 – 4) =
10.80
km = ( + 4 ) km 8.00 + 1.40 ( – 4) 1.40 ( – 4) = 2.40 + 1.40
