Evaluating and Graphing Functions

The document discusses how to evaluate functions by determining the output values for given inputs using tables of values, and how to graph functions by plotting ordered pairs of inputs and outputs on a Cartesian plane. It provides examples of evaluating specific functions at different x-values and sketching the graph of a function by tabulating x-y pairs and plotting them. The document also introduces how to use tables of values as a graphic organizer to determine points for graphing functions.

Evaluating and Graphing Functions

 How can you determine the values represented by a


function?

 How can you evaluate a function at specified values of the


variable?

 How can you describe and represent a function using a


graph?
Table of values

used in creating graphs

Example:
Consider the function .

The values of the function for the


given values of are shown in the
table of values on the right.
Example 1: Evaluate
when (a) , (b) , and (c) .
Example 1: Evaluate

Group Practice: To be done by 2-5 groups
Fidel, a working student, earns ₱640 daily for an eight-
hour service as a waiter in a fast-food restaurant. On top
of his daily salary, he also receives ₱35 for every
additional hour of work. If Fidel works for 11 hours in
one day, how much does he earn?

● How do you evaluate and graph functions for given values
of the variable?

● What are the difficulties you encountered while evaluating


and graphing functions? How did you overcome them?

● Suppose two functions are both defined at a certain value


of the variable. Will the sum or product of the two
functions be also defined at the same value of the
variable?
