V. LESSON PROPER:
A function is a correspondence f between elements of a space X and those of a space Y
such that any element x of X has a unique corresponding element y of Y which is denoted
y=f(x).

A. MOTIVATION:

Direction: Determine the following function.

f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 4 g(x) = 2x + 3

(𝑓 + 𝑔)(x) (𝑓 − 𝑔)(x)

Solution: Solution:

General Mathematics
 B. DISCUSSION:

In multiplying functions, we are guided by this rule:

𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔 𝑏𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠

(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥)

Let us try on this example to see how it works;

Multiply the following.

1. f (x) = 2x-3 and g(x)= x+1. Find (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥).

Solution:
(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥) Define

(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = (2𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 1) Substitution

(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 2𝑥2 + 2𝑥 − 3𝑥 − 3 Distribution

(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 2𝑥2 − 𝑥 − 3 Combine like terms

Note: We simplified the result to obtain a nicer expression, but this

is not necessary

2. c(y) = 3𝑦 − 4 and d(y)= 3 − 2𝑦. Find (𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦).

Solution:
(𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦) = (𝑦) ∙ 𝑑(𝑦) Define

(𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦) = (3𝑦 − 4 )(3 − 2𝑦) Substitution

(𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦) = 9𝑦 − 6𝑦2 − 12 + 8𝑦 Distribution

(𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦) = 17𝑦 − 6𝑦2 − 12 Combine like terms

(𝑐 ∙ 𝑑)(𝑦) = −6𝑦2 + 17𝑦 − 12

General Mathematics
 3. (𝑥) = 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 and 𝑛(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 5. Evaluate(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(−1).

Solution:

Method #1:

Find m(-1) and n(-1) and multiply.

First find m(-1) First find m(-1)

(𝑥) = 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 𝑛(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 5

(−1) = (−1)2 − 3(−1) 𝑛(−1) = −1 − 5

(−1) = 4 𝑛(−1) = -6

Now we put everything together:

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(−1) = (−1) ∙ 𝑛(−1)

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(−1) = (4)(−6)

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(−1) =−24

Method #2:

Find (𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) and evaluate for 𝑥 = −1

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = (𝑥) ∙ 𝑛(𝑥) Define

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = (𝑥2 − 3𝑥)(𝑥 − 5) Substitution

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = (𝑥3 − 5𝑥2 − 3𝑥2 − 15𝑥) Distribution

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = = (𝑥3 − 8𝑥2 + 15𝑥) Combine like terms

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(−1) = (−1)3 − 8(−1)2 + 15(−1))

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = = −1 − 8 − 15

(𝑚 ∙ 𝑛)(𝑥) = = −24

V. LESSON PROPER:
Function composition is only one way to combine existing functions. Another way is to carry out
the usual algebraic operations on functions, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division. We do this by performing the operations with the function outputs, defining the result as
the output of our new function.

Suppose we need to add two columns of numbers that represent a husband and wife’s separate
annual incomes over a period of years, with the result being their total household income. We
want to do this for every year, adding only that year’s incomes and then collecting all the data in
a new column. If (𝑦)is the wife’s income and h(y) is the husband’s income in year y, and we want
T to represent the total income, then we can define a new function.

𝑻(𝒚) = 𝒉(𝒚) + 𝒘(𝒚)

A. MOTIVATION:

The function C(P) = 40P that represents the cost (in pesos) of preparing P meals. Further,
suppose that the production P itself is a function of time x (in years), given by P(x) = 2x, implying
that production doubles every year. Define the function representing the cost with respect to
time x.

B. DISCUSSION:

The term “composition of function” (or “composite function”) refers to the combining of
functions in a manner where the output (range) from one function becomes the input (domain)
for the next function.

In composition of functions always remember the definition:

Let f and g be functions. The composite function, denoted by

(f ◦ g), is defined by the equation (f ◦ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

The process of obtaining a composite function is called

function composition.

Let us try on this example to see how it works.

Use the following function.

• f(x) = 2x + 1 • q(x) = x2 − 2x + 2 • r(x) = 2x + 1

x−1
• g(x) = √ x + 1 • F(x) = ⌊𝑥⌋+ 1

EXAMPLE 1. Find and simplify (g ◦ f)(x)

V. LESSON PROPER:
In Mathematics, a piecewise-defined function (also called a piecewise function or a hybrid
function or function) is usually defined by more than one formula: a formula for each interval.

A. MOTIVATION:

Directions: Evaluate the given function below at the indicated values/

f(x) = x2+2x
Find: f (-2), f (1), f (-3), f (3), and f (0),

B. DISCUSSION:

III. DISCUSSION:

➢ Piecewise function is a function which is given by

different expressions on various intervals.
➢ It is usually defined by more than one formula.

Examples:
Evaluate the piecewise defined function below at the indicated values.

General Mathematics
 • when x is less than 2, it gives x2,
• when x is exactly 2 it gives 6
• when x is more than 2 and less than or equal to 6 it gives the line 10-x

So, it looks like:

Find the following using the piecewise function above.

a. f(-1)
b. f(3)
c. f(2)
d. f(5)

a. f(-1) is less than 2, so it gives x2. Therefore, the equation in f(-1) is

f(-1) = x2
= (-1)2

b. f(3) is more than 2 and less than or equal to 6, so it gives 10-x.

Therefore, the equation in f(3) is

f(3) = 10 - x
= 10 – 3

c. f(2) x is exactly 2 it gives 6. Therefore, the equation in f(3) is

f(2) = 6

General Mathematics
 d. f(5) is more than 2 and less than or equal to 6, so it gives 10-x.
Therefore, the equation in f(5) is

f(5) = 10 - x
= 10 – 5

• when x is less than or equal to 1, it gives 2, • when x is more than 1, it

gives x,

which looks like:

Find the following using the piecewise function above.

a. f(-2)
b. f(3)
c. f(1)
d. f(7)

a. . f(-2) is less than 1, so it gives 2. Therefore, the equation in f(-2) is

f(-2) = 2

b. f(3) is more than 1, so it gives x. Therefore, the equation in f(3) is

f(3) = x
=3

c. f(1) x is equal to 1, so it gives 2. Therefore, the equation in f(1) is

f(1) = 2

General Mathematics

V. LESSON PROPER:
Solving Problems: Solving problems in general involves multiples steps from identifying the
main question up to finding the solution. Below is a general procedure in approaching and
solving mathematical problems.

General Procedure in Solving Math Problems.

1. Ask Identify the main question of concern in the problem. Sometimes the main concern
in problem involves multiple series of questions. Be patient and carefully examine the
question/s that is/are needed to address in any given problem.
2. Gather Take note of all information from the problem that is/are only needed in solving
the question/s.
3. Formulate Plan-out all the necessary mathematical procedure needed to execute (E.g.
Add first the given values then subtract it to the remaining given values.)
4. Answer Execute necessary actions indicated in your planned mathematical procedure/s.
Make sure that you address the questions imposed in the problem. Use necessary labels
(E.g. Grams, Pesos, Lbs., Etc.).

Note: Some of problems in Mathematics are very straight forward in which some of these steps
are not required anymore to be done.

A. MOTIVATION:

Direction: Given functions 𝑓 and 𝑔 below, find and simplify the following functions:

f (𝒙) = 𝑥 + 2 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝑥 2 − 4

1. 𝑓 + 𝑔 (𝑥) = 2. 𝑓 − 𝑔(𝑥) =

f (x )
3. (𝑓)(𝑔)(𝑥) = 4. =¿
g ( x)

B. DISCUSSION:

E.g. 7.1 Given (𝒇 + 𝒈)(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6, 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝑥2 + 8𝑥 − 7. Find (𝒙).

• Example 7.1 shows a problem that involves function.

• The first two (2) steps (Ask, Gather) of the general procedure in solving math problems
is already reflected on the give itself.
• Proceed to planning out appropriate mathematical procedure based on the given
information (Formulate).
General Mathematics
 (𝒇 + 𝒈)(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

• One might notice that the notation above is simply the sum of two (2) functions 𝒇(𝒙) and
𝒈(𝒙).

(𝒇 + 𝒈)(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

• Thus, 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6 is just the sum of (𝒙) and 𝒈(𝒙) where 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟖𝒙 − 𝟕.
• Use the equation itself in solving the value (𝒙). Substitute the value of (𝒙) on the left side
of the equation.

(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

(𝒙) + (𝒙𝟐 + 8𝑥 − 7) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

(𝒙) + 𝒙𝟐 + 8𝑥 − 7 = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

• Isolate (𝒙) on the left side of the equation. Then execute the operation on the right side
of the equation.
(𝒙) + 𝒙𝟐 + 8𝑥 − 7 = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6

(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6 − 𝑥2 − 8𝑥 + 7

(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 𝑥2 − 5𝑥 − 8𝑥 + 6 + 7

𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟑𝒙 + 𝟏𝟑

• A little checking will not hurt. Try to solve for the sum of two (2) functions (𝒙) and 𝒈(𝒙).
Use the given value for (𝒙) and the solve value for 𝒇(𝒙).

𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟑𝒙 + 𝟏𝟑 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟖𝒙 − 𝟕

(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙) = (𝑥2 − 13𝑥 + 13) + (𝑥2 + 8𝑥 − 7)

(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝑥2 + 𝑥2 − 13𝑥 + 8𝑥 + 13 − 7

(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙) = 2𝑥2 − 5𝑥 − 6

• Therefore, (𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟑𝒙 + 𝟏𝟑.

General Mathematics
 • Checking your answer by means of substitution on these types of problems that involve
functions in highly encourage but not necessarily required.

C. ACTIVITY:

Given (𝒇 ⋅ 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝑥4 + 16𝑥2 + 256, 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝑥2 + 4𝑥 + 16. Find (𝒙). Show your complete
solution relative to the given example 7.1 (E.g. 7.1).

D. SYNTHESIS:
Solve the given problem below. Please refer your solution and answer to the rubric
GMRW7.
Suppose that (𝑥) = 𝑥 denotes the number of bags sold by a shop, and the selling
price per bag is given by 𝑝(𝑥) = 320 − 8𝑥 for 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 10. Suppose further that the cost
of producing 𝑥 bags is given (𝑥) = 200𝑥. Find first, (𝑁 ⋅ 𝑝)(𝑥) then next, (𝑁 ⋅ 𝑝 − 𝐶)(𝑥).
What do these functions represent?

E. ASSIGNMENT:

Direction: Given the following, find (𝑥). Show your complete solutions.

a. (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = (3𝑥 − 2)2, 𝑔(𝑥) = 3𝑥 − 2

V. LESSON PROPER:
Most of higher mathematics and science theories heavily relied on the concept and ways of
rational functions (e.g. aerodynamics, biochemistry, wave mechanics, etc.) but this doesn’t
mean that it’s not applied to the day to day real-life situations that most of us are experiencing.
The succeeding examples and exercise will help you in identifying a rational function and its
applications.

A. MOTIVATION:

The local barangay received a budget of ₱100,000 to provide medical checkups for the children
in the barangay. The amount is to be allotted equally among all the children in the barangay.
Write an equation representing the relationship of the allotted amount per child (𝑦) versus the
total number of children (𝑥).

B. DISCUSSION:

E.g. 8.1 A philanthropist wants to supplement the budget allotted for each child by providing an
additional ₱750 for each child in the barangay. If (𝑥) represents this new amount allotted for
each child, construct a function representing this relationship.

Answer: (𝒙) = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎𝟎 + 𝟕𝟓𝟎

𝒙

• The answer on the above problem (e.g. 8.1) is a good example of a rational function.

• A rational function is a function of the form 𝑓 where 𝑝(𝑥) and 𝑞(𝑥) are
𝑞(𝑥)

polynomial functions, and 𝑞(𝑥) is not a zero function (i.e. 𝑞(𝑥) ≠ 0). The domain of (𝑥) is
all values of 𝑥 where 𝑞(𝑥) ≠ 0.
• A polynomial function 𝒑 of degree 𝒏 is a function that can be written in the form
(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑛𝑥𝑛 + 𝑎𝑛−1𝑥𝑛−1 + 𝑎𝑛−2𝑥𝑛−2 + ⋯ + 𝑎1𝑥 + 𝑎0

where 𝑎0, 𝑎1,… , 𝑎𝑛 ∈ ℝ,𝑎𝑛 ≠ 0, and 𝑛 is a positive integer. Each summand is a term of
polynomial function. The constant 𝑎0, 𝑎1, 𝑎2, … , 𝑎𝑛 are coefficients. The leading coefficient
is 𝑎𝑛. The leading term is 𝑎𝑛𝑥𝑥 and the constant term is 𝑎0.

 • A rational equation or inequality can be solved for all 𝑥 values that satisfy the equation or
inequality. Whereas we solve an equation or inequality, we do not “solve" functions.
Rather, a function (and in particular, a rational function) expresses a relationship
between two variables (such as 𝑥 and 𝑦) and can be represented by a table of values or
a graph.
