EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONS
ACTIVITY
Meet best friends Emily and Anton. They have
formed a partnership. Anton, being creative one,
makes costumes jewelry. Emily, being business-
minded, markets the jewelry Anton makes. In a
recent month, they spent P1,000 on raw materials to
make 50 pieces of jewelry and sold each for P25.00.
Assuming that they are not required to pay a sales
tax, their net profit depends on the number of jewelry
sold.
1. The problem includes three constants: the fixed
cost of the raw materials (P1,000), the selling
price for each piece (P25.00), and the total number
of jewelry pieces made (50)
2. Let us use n to represents the number of pieces
of jewelry sold and P for the net profit in pesos.
a. What should be greatest value of n? the greatest
of value of P?
b. What should be the least value of n? the least
value of P?
(Hint: refer to the table in the next page)
3. Some of the data for selling the costume
jewelry are shown in the table below.
Number of Pieces of
Costume Jewelry Sold (n)
Net Profit in Pesos (P)
0 -1,000
10 -750
20 -500
25 -375
30 -250
45 125
4. A function machine that clearly shows the input,
the process and the output after selling the
costume jewelry is given as follows.
5. Use the function machine to write an equation
that shows algebraically how to compute the net
profit given the number of pieces of jewelry sold.
𝑃 𝑛 = __________________
6. If there are 40 pieces of jewelry sold, how much
should be the profit?
Questions:
1. In the previous activity we could also replace P (n)
with y or any variable you like, what does the notation
y = P (n) means?
2. How do you call possible values of n that would satisfy
the equation y the function P (n)? How about the
resulting values of y or P (n)?
3. How do you solve the values of P (n) given n? (Hint:
refer to the previous activity)
Example 1. If 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 8, evaluate each.
a. 𝑓(4) b. 𝑓(−2) c. 𝑓(𝑥 + 3) d. 𝑓(−𝑥)
Solution:
a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 8
𝑓(4) = 4 + 8 Substitution Property of Equality.
𝑓(4) = 4 + 8 Simplify
𝑓(4) = 12
Example 2. The price function 𝑝(𝑥) = 640 −
0.2𝑥 represent the price for which you can sell x printed
T-shirts. What must be the price of the shirt for the first
3 entries in the table?
Target
Number of
Shirts (x)
500 900 1300
Price per
T-shirt
P(x)
P540 P460 P380
1 700
P300
ASSESSMENT
A. Directions. Evaluate each function at the indicated
values of the independent variable and simplify the
result.
1. 𝑓 𝑥 = 9 − 6𝑥
a. 𝑓 −1 b. 𝑓 1 c. 𝑓 −3 + 𝑥
2. 𝑔 𝑥 = 𝑥2
− 4𝑥
a. 𝑔 2 b. 𝑔 𝑎 + 𝑏 c. 𝑔 2 − 𝑥
B. Answer the problems that follow.
1. The function A described by 𝐴 𝑠 =
𝑠2 3
4
gives the area of
equilateral triangle with side s.
a. Find the area when a side measures 8 inches.
b. Find the area when a side measures 16 cm.
2. The function C described by 𝐶 𝐹 =
5
9
𝐹 − 32 gives the
Celsius temperature corresponding to the Fahrenheit
temperature F.
a. Find the Celsius temperature equivalent to 14℉.
b. Find the Celsius temperature equivalent to 68℉.
Assignment
Direction: Answer the problem below.
As the lightning strikes, the time between the flash that we see and the thunder
that we hear depends on the distance that we are from where the lightning
struck.
A table for this function is shown below.
Distance (in
kilometers),
d
1 2 3 4 5
Time (in
seconds), t
3 6 9 12 15
Questions:
1. Write a formula for this function.
2. Graph the data in the table by letting the x-axis
represents the distance and the y-axis represents
the time.
3. Why does it seem reasonable that the graph of
this function should go through the origin?
