Background Information for Learners

In this activity sheets, the competencies expected that you will learn are found in the Module
Content. You will see how relations and functions are represented and what piece-wise functions are.
You will also learn how to evaluate perform operations with functions and composite functions. Plus,
you will need critical thinking skills as you solve problems with functions.
The module is focused on:
Lesson 2 EVALUATING FUNCTIONS

A. Learning Competency with code

In this activity sheets, you will learn to:
1. evaluate a function; M11GM-la-2
2. performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions;
M11GM-la-3
3. solves problems involving functions. M11GM-la-4

B. Directions/ Instructions

REMINDERS:
1. Use the activity sheets with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the activity
sheets. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities included in the
activity sheets.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this activity sheets to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this activity sheets, do not hesitate to
consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain deep
understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

2. performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions;

3. Solves problems involving functions.

b. What I Know

You need a good grasp of GEMDAS. GEMDAS is an acronym for the words Grouping
symbols, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. When asked to
simplify two or more operations in one algebraic/numerical expression, the order of the
letters in GEMDAS indicates what to calculate first, second, third and so on, until a
simplified expression is achieved.

c. What It Is

Evaluating a function means replacing the variable in the function, in this

case x, with a value from the function's domain and computing for the result. To
denote that we are evaluating 𝑓 at a for some 𝑎 in the domain of f, we write 𝑓(𝑎).

Example 2

Evaluate the following functions, where f and q are as defined in Example 1.

a) 𝑓(2𝑥+1) b) 𝑔(4𝑥−3)
Solution:
a. 𝑓(2𝑥+1)=3(2𝑥+1)−2=6𝑥+3−2=𝟔𝒙+𝟏
b. 𝑔(4𝑥−3)=3(4𝑥−3)2−4(4𝑥−3)

=3(16𝑥2−24𝑥+9)−16𝑥+12
=48𝑥2−72𝑥+27−16𝑥+12 =48𝑥2−88𝑥+39

Example 3
Evaluate 𝑓(𝑎+𝑏) where 𝑓(𝑥)=4𝑥2−3𝑥 .
Solution. 𝑓(𝑎+𝑏)=4(𝑎+𝑏)2−3(𝑎+𝑏)=4(𝑎2+2𝑎𝑏+𝑏2)−3𝑎−3𝑏 =4𝑎2−3𝑎+8𝑎𝑏−3𝑏+4𝑏2

Example 4
Suppose that 𝑠 (𝑇) is the top speed (in km per hour) of a runner when the
temperature is T degrees Celsius. Explain what the statements 𝑠(15) = 12 and 𝑠(30) = 10
mean.
Solution.
The first equation means that when the temperature is 15°𝐶, then the top speed of a runner is
12 km per hour. However, when temperature rises to 30°𝐶, the top speed is reduced to 10 km
per hour.

Example 5
The velocity 𝑉 (in m/s) of a ball thrown upward 𝑡 seconds after the ball was thrown is
given by 𝑉(𝑡) = 20 – 9.8𝑡. Calculate 𝑉(0) and 𝑉(1), and explain what these results
mean.
Solution.
𝑉(0) = 20 – 9.8(0) = 20 and 𝑉(1) = 20 – 9.8(1) = 10.2. These results indicate that
the initial velocity of the ball is 20 m/s. After 1 second, the ball is traveling more
slowly, at 10.2 m/s.
