Evaluating Linear and Quadratic Functions

The document contains evaluations of various linear and quadratic functions for specific values of x, along with their calculated results. Additionally, it presents piecewise functions for a delivery charge and parking fee based on distance and time, respectively, outlining the cost structure for each scenario. The final piecewise functions for delivery charge C(x) and parking fee P(t) are provided with their respective conditions.

Evaluating Functions (Linear or Quadratic Only)

1. Evaluate the function f(x) = 2x + 3 when x = -4.


2. Evaluate the function g(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6 at x = 3.
3. Given the function h(x) = -3x + 7, find the value of h(0).
4. Let p(x) = 4x^2 + 2x - 1. Find p(-2).
5. Find the value of m(x) = 5x - 9 when x = 1/2.

Piecewise Function Representation (Word Problems)

6. A delivery company charges a flat rate of ₱100 for the first 5 kilometers.
After 5 kilometers, they charge ₱20 for every additional kilometer up to 10 kilometers.
For any distance beyond 10 kilometers, they charge ₱15 per kilometer.
Write a piecewise function C(x) that represents the total delivery charge in pesos based
on the distance x kilometers.
7. A parking lot charges ₱50 for the first two hours.
After that, it charges ₱30 per hour for the next 3 hours.
Any time beyond 5 hours is charged ₱20 per hour.
Write a piecewise function P(t) that models the total parking fee in pesos with respect to
the number of hours t parked.

Evaluating Functions (Linear or Quadratic Only)

1. f(x) = 2x + 3, when x = -4
f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3 = -8 + 3 = -5
2. g(x) = x² - 5x + 6, when x = 3
g(3) = 3² - 5(3) + 6 = 9 - 15 + 6 = 0
3. h(x) = -3x + 7, when x = 0
h(0) = -3(0) + 7 = 0 + 7 = 7
4. p(x) = 4x² + 2x - 1, when x = -2
p(-2) = 4(-2)² + 2(-2) - 1 = 4(4) - 4 - 1 = 16 - 4 - 1 = 11
5. m(x) = 5x - 9, when x = 1/2
m(1/2) = 5(1/2) - 9 = 2.5 - 9 = -6.5

6. Delivery Charge Function C(x):

Let x = number of kilometers traveled.

C(x) =

 100, if 0 < x ≤ 5
 100 + 20(x - 5), if 5 < x ≤ 10
 100 + 20(5) + 15(x - 10) = 200 + 15(x - 10), if x > 10

Final piecewise function:

C(x) =
{
100, if 0 < x ≤ 5
100 + 20(x - 5), if 5 < x ≤ 10
200 + 15(x - 10), if x > 10
}

7. Parking Fee Function P(t):

Let t = number of hours parked.

P(t) =

 50, if 0 < t ≤ 2
 50 + 30(t - 2), if 2 < t ≤ 5
 50 + 30(3) + 20(t - 5) = 140 + 20(t - 5), if t > 5

Final piecewise function:

P(t) =
{
50, if 0 < t ≤ 2
50 + 30(t - 2), if 2 < t ≤ 5
140 + 20(t - 5), if t > 5
}
