Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
The term "function" was
literally introduced
by Gottfried Leibniz, in
a 1673 letter, to describe
a quantity related to
points of a curve, such as
a coordinate or curve's
slope.
 FUNCTIONS
• Identify the different kinds of function
• Represent real – life situation using
one – to – one function
• Represent real – life situation using
piece-wise function
Linear Functions
A function f is a linear function if f(x) = mx +
b, where m and b are real numbers, and m and
f(x) are not both equal to zero.

y = 2x + 3
f(x) = -4x + 3
Quadratic Function
A quadratic function is any equation of the form.
f(x) = a
where a , b and c are real numbers and a 0

y=
f(x) = -4

Constant function - f(x) = b

Identity function - f(x) = x

 Linear, Constant or Identity?
a. f(x)= 7 – 4x
b. h(x) = -2
c. f(x) = 3x - 2

PIECEWISE FUNCTION
- is a function defined by multiple sub-
functions, where each sub-functions
applies to a certain interval of the main
function’s domain.
f(x) = 2, if x > -4
-5, if x < -4
f(x) = -x, if x
Sample Problem
You are a crew at PCS Convenience Store that pays an hourly wage of 45 pesos and
1.5 times the hourly wage for the extra hours if you work more than 40 hours a week.
a. Write a piecewise function that gives the weekly pay P in terms of the number of
hours h you work.
b. Graph the piecewise function.
Solutions:
c. For up to 40 hours, your pay is given by P = 45h.
For over 40 hours, your pay is given by:
45(40) + 1.5(45)(h – 40)
Thus, the piecewise function is:
= 1800 + 67.5(h – 40)
= 1800 + 67.5h – 2700 45h, if 0
40
= 67.5h - 900
P(h) = 67.5h – 900, if h > 40
A videoke machine can be rented for 1000 pesos for three days, but for the fourth
day onwards, an additional cost of 400 pesos per day is added. Represent the cost of
renting a videoke machine as a piecewise function of the number of days it is rented
and plot its graph.

Solution: for 3 days of renting = 1000 pesos

for over 3 days of rent the payment is given by:
1000 + 400 (x – 3)

Thus, the piecewise function is:

1000 if 0 3
P(h) = 1000+ 400(x – 3), if x > 3
A jeepney passenger pays 8 pesos for the first 4 km
as fare, and an additional 1.5 pesos for every
succeeding distance d in kilometers
a. Write a piecewise function that gives the fare P in
terms of the number of distance d you travelled.
b. Graph the piecewise function.
