Test I: Function Rule
1. Lance wants to determine the relationship of internet usage in the café and the hourly surfing rate.
He has the following information:
The cost of one-hour internet surfing is PHP 30.00
He wants to determine the number of hours of internet surfing he could use with PHP
180.00 in his pocket.
He wants to completely utilize 4 hours of internet surfing.
He ascertains to pay PHP 120.00.
2. Anna is working in a cafeteria. She needs to have a savings for the tuition fee of her younger sister.
She is now saving money at a constant rate of Php 300 per day. At the start of the month her boss
gives her an allowance of Php 1500 and she plans to add it with her daily savings. How can you
express the amount Anna has saved as a function of time? How much is her savings after 30 days?
Table of values:
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 1800 2100 2400 2700 3000
3. Given the table below give its function rule:
x 1 2 3 4 5
y -14 -11 -6 1 10
.
Test II: Function Real Life Situation
1. A rectangular field is to be enclosed with 240 m of fence.
a. Let x meters be the length of the field: express the number of square meters in the area of the field
as a function of x
b. What is the area of the rectangular field if x is 40 meters?
2. A manufacturer of open tin boxes wishes to make use of pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in.
by cutting equal squares from the four corners and turning up the sides
a. Let x inches be the length of the side to be cut out; express the number of cubic inches in the
volume of the box as a function of x.
b. What is the volume of the open tin boxes if x is 10 inches?
3. A toy manufacturer can produce a particular toy at a cost of 10 pesos per toy. It is estimated that if
the selling price of the toy is x dollars, then the number of toys that are sold each day is 45-x.
a. Express the number of pesos in the manufacturer’s daily profit as a function of x.
b. Use the result of part (a) to determine the daily profit, given that the selling price is 30 pesos per toy.
Test III: Piecewise Function
1. A service club is selling Super Bowl coffee mugs for a fundraiser. The setup for creating the design
that goes on the mugs is a flat Php 75. The mugs will cost the club Php 90 each if they order no more
than 200 mugs, Php 85 each if they order between 201 and 500 mugs and Php 80 each if they order
more than 500 mugs.
a. Write the piecewise function of the problem
b. What is the total cost for 100 mugs, 300 mugs, and 1,000 mugs?
.
Test IV: Evaluating Functions
1. Evaluate the following functions at x=-7
a. f(x) = 14x-20
b. g(x) = 8x2-3x+21
c. p(x) = x3+3x2-10x+4
3
d. C(x) = √𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 + 784
𝑥 2+7𝑥+3
e. A(x) =
𝑥−2
f. h(x) = l 2x3 -7x+4 l
2.
a. Given f(x) = x2+x-2 , evaluate the function f(x2-2x+1 ) or x = x2-2x+1.
b. Given f(x) =x3-x, evaluate the function f(x-1) or x =x-1.
Test V: Operation on Functions
1. Given f(x) = 4x2-16x+16 and g(x) = 2x-4.
Find the following:
a. (f + g)(x)
b. (f − g)(x)
c. (f ∙ g)(x)
d. (f/g)(x)
e. (f ∘ g)(x)
f. (g ∘ f)(x)
2. Given f(x) = 8-x3 and g(x) = x2-4x+4
a. (f ∘ g)(−1)
b. (g ∘ f)(−1)
