Functions in Real-life Situations
Prob 3: Suppose Cristina wants to determine the relationship of paying a jeepney fare and the corresponding
distance travelled. She is also given the following situations:
✓ The minimum fare of the first four kilometers or less is ₱10.00 and each succeeding kilometer costs ₱2.00.
✓ She wants to utilize ₱20.00 on her pocket for a full transportation payment.
✓ She wants to ascertain the total fare by travelling 20 kilometers.
Create a function that will represent the situation.

Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the function, in this case
𝑥, with a value from the function’s domain and computing the result. To denote
that we are evaluating 𝑓 at 𝑥 for some 𝑥 in the domain of 𝑓, we write 𝑓(𝑥).
Substitution Property of Equality
The substitution property of equality states that if 𝑥 = 𝑦, then 𝑥 can
be substituted in for 𝑦 in any equation, and 𝑦 can be substituted for 𝑥 in
any equation.
🅆🄷🅈 🄸🅂 🄸🅃 🄸🄼🄿🄾🅁🅃🄰🄽🅃?
✓ The substitution property of equality makes algebra possible. If we did not use this
property in algebra, we would not be able to plug in known values for variables into
mathematical expressions and equations.
Evaluation of Function
Example 1: Evaluate the function: 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 − 4 at 𝑥 = −4, 𝑥 = 0, 𝑥 = 2,
and 𝑥 = 4.
at 𝑥 = −4, at 𝑥 = 0, at 𝑥 = 2, at 𝑥 = 4,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4
𝑓(−4) = (−4)2 −4 𝑓(0) = (0)2 −4 𝑓(2) = (2)2 −4 𝑓(4) = (4)2 −4
𝑓(−4) = 16 − 4 𝑓(0) = 0 − 4 𝑓(2) = 4 − 4 𝑓(4) = 16 − 4
𝑓(−4) = 12 𝑓 0 = −4 𝑓 2 =0 𝑓 4 = 12
