Rule or correspondence tae fixoxetl, x=1,2,3,4 + Notice that the set of ordered pairs of numbers, the mapping diagram, the table of values, and the graph clearly show that each ¢ value of y is obtained by adding | to the square ais of x. Hence, this is the rule or correspondence, expressed in words for the said relation. 5. Equation: The rule or correspondence can be described by the equation y =x? + 1. You have seen that not every set of ordered pairs defines a function. Similarly, not all equations with the variables x and y define a function. If an equation is solved for y and more than one value of y can be obtained for a particular value of x, then the equation does not define yasa function of x. In Entry Card item No. 3, when the equation is solved for y, we have. . x+y'—4=0 Write the original equation. wt+ya4 Add 4 to both sides. =4-x Subtract x? from both sides. y=t@-x) Apply the square root method. The symbol + in the last equation shows that for all values of x between ~2 and 2, there are two values of y. For example, if x = 1, then y= +4/(4— 1°) =+ V3. Hence, the equation does not define y as a function of x. Note: When finding the domain and range of a function involving: 1. A radical with an even index: Radicand must be non-negative. Hence, the radicand must be greater than or equal to zero. 2. A fraction: Denominator must not be equal to zero.

Write this equation in the vertex form by completing the sau (x? — 30x + 225) + 225 (x - 15)°+ 225 ‘We know that the graph of the function is a parabola that opens downward and with vertex (the highest point) at (15, 225). The absolute maximum of the function is 225. Therefore, the ‘maximum area is 225 square meters. Since x = 15 (the width) and 30 x = 15 (the length), the dimension that gives the maximum area is 15 meters by 15 meters.

Find the coordinates of the vertex and { describe what this represents in practical terms. ROR this indicate that 45-year-olds have the least number of car accidents, 190 per 50 million kilometers driven, Also, since the vertex is the minimum point, drivers both older and younger than 45 have more than 190 accidents per 50 million kilometers driven. 2.

The vertex is (2.5, 7) and opens downward, Note: Domain; 0 2, the values of 2x ~4 are positive; and for x = 0, f(x) = 0. Thus, the function could be written as a compound function as follows. _{-Ox-4), if x<2 MO") ox-4, if x>2 ‘To graph, assign values for x as what we do when we graph linear equations. The graph is shown on the right, 4. Piecewise Function In the previous discussions of this lesson, a single equation represented each function, In many real-life problems, functions may be represented by a combination of equations. Such functions are called compound functions, For example, the compound function given by 2x -2, if xs4 mya fe-2 if x>1 is defined by two equations. One equation gives the value of fx) when x is less than or equal to 1, and the other equation gives the value of f(x) when x is greater than 1.

Ina recent month, they spent P’1 000.00 on raw materials to make 50 pieces of jewelry and sold each for 25.00, Assuming that they are not required to Pay a sales tax, their net profit depends on the number of pieces of jewelry sold. 1.
