COMPETENCY & Solves problems involving functions. (M11GM-Ia-4)
:
OBJECTIVES
CONTENT : Solving Problems Involving Functions
LEARNING SLM Module 1
RESOURCES : GM LM pages 13-20
GM TG pages 7-11
PROCEDURE : A. Preparation
Check the assignment given.
B. Motivation
Using functional notation, write the function rule that relates the
following:
1. The area A of a square in relation to its side x.
2. The perimeter P of a rectangle whose length is 1 unit more than its
width x.
3. The volume V of a box with height I unit more than the side x of the
square base.
C. Presentation
Solving real-life problems is the heart of Mathematics. One important
skill in solving problems is the ability to transform the given problems by
using functions that describe the problems.

Present the learning objectives.

D. Discussion/Abstraction
One hundred meters of fencing is available to enclose a rectangular
area next to a river (see figure). What is the maximum area that can be
enclosed?
SOLUTION: The area of the rectangular enclosure is 𝐴 = 𝑥𝑦.
We will write this as a function of x.
100−𝑥
Since 𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 100 or 𝑦 = , the
2
area A is defined as:
100−𝑥 −𝑥 2 +100𝑥
𝐴(𝑥) = 𝑥 ( 2
) = 2
or 𝐴(𝑥) =
1
− 2 (𝑥 2− 100𝑥)
Write in vertex form to get,
1
𝐴(𝑥) = − 2 (𝑥 2 − 100𝑥+2 500) +1 250 or
1
𝐴(𝑥) = − (𝑥 − 50)2 + 1 250
2
This is a quadratic function with vertex or maximum point at (50, 1 250).
This means that when the length is 50 meters, a maximum area of 1 250
𝑚2 is enclosed.
E. Exercises
A mall charges P25 for the first hour or a fraction of an hour as parking
fee. An additional P25 is charged for every additional hour, or a fraction of
an hour of parking. The parking area operates from 7A.M. to 12 midnight
every day. How much will be charged to a car owner who parked from 7
A.M to 1:30 P.M.?
F. Generalization
How do you solve problems involving functions?
G. Application
A videoke machine can be rented for P1,000.00 for three days, but for
the fourth day onwards, an additional cost of P400 per day is added. How
much will you pay if you will rent it for 5 days?
H. Evaluation
Maricris has an initial investment of P280,000.00 in a bank.
Every month, she withdraws P15,000.00 to run her small business at
home. How long will the money be used up completely, given the
rate of withdrawal?
I. Agreement/Assignment
A taxi ride costs P40.00 for the first 500 meters, and each
additional 300 meters (or a fraction thereof) adds P3.50 to the fare.
How much will a taxi passenger pay for a three-kilometer ride?
