Recall the definition of a function.
Ask: What would happen if a sack of rice grains is poured into the
opening of a working milling machine?
If one thinks of functions as a function machine, evaluating a
function is analogous to providing our machines with a valid input.
Make a discussion about evaluating a function and say:
 Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the
function, in this case x, with a value from the function’s domain
and computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating f
at a for some a in the domain of f, we write f(a).
 If one thinks of functions as a machine, evaluating a function is
similar to providing our machines with a valid input.
(See Example TG, p. 12). Take for example, (a) evaluate
at .

 Step 1. Given
Step 1. By substitution
Step 2. Closure Property of
Multiplication
Step 3. Closure Property of
Addition
Step 4. Thus, the function value is 4.
Proceed to Example 2 on the same page. Or you may opt to change
the values of x to find the function values.
E. Discussing new concepts Ask: What is the function value of f as defined in Example 1 if
and practicing new skills evaluated at ?

Below is the thorough discussion of the solution.
Step 1. Given
Step 2. by Substitution
Step 3. Distributive
Property
Step 4. Closure Property
of Addition
Step 5. Thus, the function value is .
F. Developing Mastery Let the learners work with a partner. Assign the problem below. The
solution is provided for you. The teacher will have to mill around to
facilitate the group activity. Call a representative to discuss the
solution in the class. ( A classroom reward system could be used to
further encourage and motivate the learners to participate in the
activity, say the first five groups earns extra points.)

Evaluate at .
Solution:
Step 1. Given
Step 2. by
Substitution
Step 3. Squaring,
DPMA
Step 4. Combining similar
terms
Step 5. Thus, the function value is .
G. Finding practical Seatwork:
applications of concepts
and skills in daily living 1. Mark started selling snacks in the nearby school. In one day he
spends P200 for rent and P25 for each snack item he prepares. His
expenses in a single day can be expressed as the function C(x) = 25x
+ 200, where x is the number of items and C(x) is his daily expenses
in pesos. How much are his expenses if he prepares 100 snack
items? 150 snack items?
Answer:
P2,700 and P3,950, respectively.

2. The function for the height of an object dropped from 100-meter
tall platform at time t seconds is approximated by s(t) = -5(
2 100
t +100. This formulais based on an approximated value for the acceleration g=
s
What is the height of the object after 2 seconds? after 4 seconds?
Answer:
80 and 20 meters, respectively.
Ask: How is evaluating a function done?
Evaluating a function can be done replacing the variable in the
function, in this case x, with a value from the function’s domain and
computing for the result. To denote that we are evaluating f at a for
some a in the domain of f, we write f(a).
See attachment.
For remediation, assign learners to pick 2 problems that they did not
worked on in the previous activity found in part I. Peer tutoring is
desired for this purpose.
For enrichment, assign Seatwork 5 on p. 11. The same rubric should
be used for grading the learners’ outputs.
