Real-Life Functions in Mathematics

This document is a learner's activity sheet for general mathematics. It contains 3 activities: 1) Representing real-life situations like salary as a function of days worked and computer rental fee as a function of hours using functions. 2) Evaluating given functions like f(x)=x-2 at different values of x and finding values of functions like f(x)=√x-3. 3) Performing operations on functions like finding f+g, f-g, f∘g where f(x)=x-5 and g(x)=x^2-1 and evaluating composite functions.

LEARNER’S ACTIVITY SHEET

General Mathematics
Week 1
Name: ______________________________________________ Date Started: _______________
Grade Level: _________________________________________ Track/ Strand: _______________

Activity 1. Represent the following real life situations using function.


1. A person is earning P600 per day to do a certain job. Express the total salary S as a function of
the number n of days that the person works.
2. A computer shop charges 20 pesos per hour (or a fraction of an hour) for the first two hours
and an additional 10 pesos per hour for each succeeding hour. Represent your computer rental
fee using the function R(t) where t is the number of hours you spent on the computer.
3. 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. Use a piecewise function to represent the taxi fare in terms of
the distance d in meters.
