E. Presenting New Lesson
Decision making is always part of our lives, from the moment we wake- up we start to decide the proper action to
undertake be it minor or major decisions. In the problem presented one of the factors that Miguel can use in making
decision about the dilemma he is facing is the cost of the fare in jeepney and in tricycle. If he will ride a jeepney he will only
pay ₱17.25 however if he will ride a tricycle, he needs to pay ₱24.00 So it will be more economical if he chose to ride a
jeepney. However, the cost of the fare is just one of the factors. There are times that convenience is also considered in
choosing the mode of transportation since it is not crowded and you can reach your destination faster. Therefore, in
deciding the mode of transportation the priority of the commuters whether to be more economical or to meet convenience
is considered.
Example 1: LET’S TRAVEL
A proposed Light Rail Transit System Line 1 (LRT-1) fare would charge ₱18.00 for the first four stations and ₱5.00 for each
additional station over the proposed fare.
George Polya’s 4 – Step Rule
1. Explore. This step involves careful reading, analyzing, identifying the given and unknown facts in the problem and
expressing the unknown in terms of variables.
2. Plan. In this step writing an equation that describes the relationships between or among the variables is involve.
3. Solve. This step requires working out with the written equation and other number relations to determine the required
quantities that answer the question in the problem.
4. Check. The final step that employ the use of other approaches to examine the appropriateness of the answer.
Solution:
a. Explore. Since the first step involves analysis and proper labeling of the known and unknown facts we will let x = number
of stations traveled. There are also some conditions that was set in the problem such as the cost of fare which is set up to 4
stations only thus we can represent x – 4 = number of stations traveled over and above 4 stations.
that if we travelled up to 4 stations we must pay P18, we can represent it as f(x) = 18 for 0 < 𝑥 ≤ 4.
Plan. In writing an equation that will represent the relationship between the known and unknown quantities, since we know
However, if we travelled more than 4 stations the cost of the fare have different method of computation so we need to
consider it. Since the cost of every station after the 4th station is ₱5.00 we will now obtain f(x) = 18 + 5(x – 4).
Now simplifying the equation will lead us to:
f(x) = 18 + 5x – 20
f(x) = 5x – 2
At this point we can say that the fare function is f(x) = 5x – 2
b. Solve. To find the fare charge for 15 stations the fare function f(x) = 5x -2 will be used and 15 will be substituted to the
function f(15) = 5(15) – 2
= 73
By evaluating the function we obtained f(15) = 73
Check. To check whether we arrived at the correct solution you can use table or graph. Thus. the proposed fare for 15-
station travel is ₱73.00
c. f(20) = 5 (20) – 2 = 98
The proposed fare for 20 – station travel is ₱98
Example:2 BINGE WATCH
Lucena Network charges ₱450.00 monthly cable connection fee plus ₱130.00 for each hour of pay-per-view (PPV) event
regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour.
a. Find payment function f(x) where x represents the number of PPV hours.
b. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours of PPV events?
c. What is the monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour of PPV events?
Solution:
a. ₱450.00 = fixed monthly cable connection fee
Let x = number of PPV hours in a month
₱130.00(x) = amount of PPV payment in a specific hour
The payment function is f(x) = 450 + 130(x).
The monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours of PPV event is ₱3,750.00
c. The monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour PPV events can be represented by 0 < x ≤ 1 and since the problem
states that regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour the additional charge will be made on hourly basis only, thus the
value of x will be 1
f(x) = Php 450.00 + Php 130.00(x).
f(1) = Php 450.00 + Php 130.00(1)
= Php 450.00 + Php 130.00
= Php 580.00

capital is ₱15,000.00. Make a financial plan for the booth that you will set up and the product that you will sell. You may use
the sample plan below:
VII. Assignment
To practice your skills in solving problems involving functions the exercises below is for you.
A man with 200 ft. of fencing material wishes to fence off an area in the shape of a rectangle. What should be the
dimensions of the area if the enclosed space is to be as large as possible? What is the largest area? Hint: A = lw, P = 2l + 2w.
