OBJECTIVE
S
At the end of the lesson, the students are
expected to:

1. evaluate a function;
2. determine the function
that will yield the indicated
y-value (output) given the
x-value (input);
OBJECTIVE
S
At the end of the lesson, the students are
expected to:

1. Perform addition,
subtraction, multiplication
and division, and
composition of functions.
WHAT’S
Directions: NEW?
Read and analyze the following
situation and answer the guide questions
that follow.
Problem 1: Each minute a
candle burns down the same
amount. Initially, the candle was
30 cm. and every minute it
decreases by one-half
centimeter.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
What is the length of the candle
after 5 minutes?

How long is the candle


after 30 minutes?

How long will the candle last


before it burns completely
away?
WHAT IS IT?
Here are the examples on how to
evaluate functions.
Note: The symbol f(x) is another name
for “y” and is read as “f of x”, or “the
value of f at x”. It does not mean ”f
times x”. We can also use the letters
such as d or g to name a function.
Functions can be represented by
equations, set of ordered pairs, tables,
mapping diagram and graphs.
WHAT IS IT?
Example 1. Evaluate
the following
functions at x = 1.5
a. f(x) = 2x + 5
b. q(x) = x – 4x +
2

1
c. r(x) =
WHAT IS IT?
Solution. Substituting 1.5 for x in the
functions above, we have
a. f(1.5) = 2(1.5) + 5
= 3 +5
= 8
b. q(1.5) = (1.5)2 − 4(1.5) + 1
= 2.25 – 6 + 1
= -2.75
c. r(1.5) =
= = 20
WHAT IS IT?

Example 2.
Given f(x) = 2x 2

+5x – 4, find f(-


3).
WHAT IS IT?
Solution. f(x) = 2x2 +5x – 4
Replace every x in the equation by (-3)
f(-3) = 2(-3)2 + 5(-5) – 4
Use PEMDAS to evaluate and simplify
the expression. (Square (-3) first
before multiplying by the cofactor 2.
f(-3) = 2(9) + 5(-3) – 4
f(-3) = 18 – 15 – 4
f(-3) = 3 – 4
f(-3) = – 1
WHAT IS IT?

Example 3. Given
f(x) = 3x – 2x +
2

7, find f(5m).
WHAT IS IT?
Solution. Replace every x in the equation by
(5m).
f(x) = 3x2 – 2x + 7
f(5m) = 3(5m)2 – 2(5m) + 7
Square 5m first, before multiplying by
3. (PEMDAS)
f(5m) = 3(25m2) – 2(5m) + 7
f(5m) = 75m2 – 10m + 7
There are no like terms, since they have
different literal coefficients.
So, the answer is f(5m) = 75m2 – 10m + 7
(Note: the answer is in terms of m.)
WHAT IS IT?

Example 4. Given
f(x) = 2x +5x –
2

4, find f(2a+1).
WHAT IS IT?
Solution. When substituting
expressions, like 2a+1, into a
function,
using parentheses will help
prevent algebraic errors. For this
problem, use (2a+1) to replace x.
f (2a + 1) = 2(2a + 1)2 + 5(2a + 1)
-4
= 2(4a2 + 4a + 1) + 10a
+5-4
= 8a2 + 8a + 2 + 10a +

Evaluating Piece-wise Functions

Example 5. f(x) =
find f(-3)
WHAT’S
MORE?
Solution: Since we are looking
for the value of f(-3), which
means the value of x is -3,
Use f(x) = 7x – 4 because -3
is less than 0.
f(x) = 7x – 4
f(-3) = 7(-3) – 4
f(-3) = –21 – 4
f(-3) = –25

banca tour to Taal Volcano
costs P450.00 intended for 7
passengers only. Additional
passengers are charged
P80.00 per head.

Let x = the number of

Addition of Functions

Let f and g be any two functions.

The sum f + g is a function whose domains


are the set of all real numbers common to
the domain of f and g, and defined as
follows:
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
Example 1

If f (x) = 3x – 2 and g (x) = x2 + 2x – 3,


find (f + g) (x).

Solution to Example 1
(f + g) (x) = f (x) + g (x)
= (3x – 2) + (x2+ 2x – 3)
= x2 + 5x – 5
Subtraction of Functions

Let f and g be any two functions.

The difference f – g is a function whose


domains are the set of all real numbers
common to the domain of f and g, and
defined as follows:
(f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x)
Example 2

Let f (x) = x2– 5 and g (x) = 5x + 4,


find (f – g)(x).

Solution to Example 2
(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g (x)
= (x2 – 5) – (5x + 4)
= x2 – 5 – 5x – 4
= x2 – 5x – 9
Multiplication of Functions

Let f and g be any two functions.

The product fg is a function whose domains


are the set of all real numbers common to
the domain of f and g, and defined as
follows:
(fg)(x) = f(x) · g(x)
Example 3

If f (x) = 3x – 2 and g (x) = x2 + 2x – 3,


find (fg) (x).

Solution to Example 3
(fg)(x) = (3x – 2)(x2 + 2x – 3)
= 3x (x2 + 2x – 3) – 2(x2 + 2x –3)
= 3x3 + 6x2 – 9x – 2x2 – 4x + 6
= 3x3 + 4x2 – 13x + 6
Division of Functions

Let f and g be any two functions.

The quotient f/g is a function whose


domains are the set of all real numbers
common to the domain of f and g, and
defined as follows: ,

where g(x) ≠ 0.
Example 4
