This includes the plotting of the collected data, determining the path of a projectile, finding the distance between objects, and others. Learning Outcomes At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to apply the functions and graphs in solving real-life situations. Motivation Question What are the things to know when applying functions and graphs in our everyday lives? Discussion Sketching the Scatter plot ‘One of the applications of graphs is to sketch a scatter plot from the collected data. It is done by plotting the collected quantitative data in a graph, connecting the points to form a curve, and performs statistical analysis to interpret the data. Though, we will not go further to data analysis. Since it is a real-life data, no negative numbers involved, thus the xy-plane is composed of only positive x and y-values. The exception of that is the temperature and other physics-related problems. Anyway, we will not focus much on the applications in physics. Example 1. Sketching scatter plot 1. The table shown is the annual expense (in million dollars) spent on skiing equipment in the United States from 1990 to 2003, Create a scatter plot for this table, Vision: A. globally competitive university for science, technology, and environmental TPamo-o2 ‘conservation voorts Mission: Development ofa highly competitive human resource, culting-odge scientific knowledge 2020 and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment. 141 Pre-Calculus for Enigneers Table 7. Annual expense for skiing equipment. ney ‘Source: National Sporting Goods Commission; Larson and Hostetler (2009) Solution: Let the year (t) and amount (A) be the independent and dependent variables, respectively. Thus, you can simply represent each pair of values as an ordered pair (t, A), plotting them as shown below.

For example, on the price of a certain product based on their quantity wherein, a discounted price is given for those who brought them at a bulk quantity. Another example is the Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) fares in which a certain amount of fare for the first five kilometers, then an additional amount for every kilometer after five kilometers. This is an example of the application of the piecewise function that has two or more different formulas per set of the domain Example 2. Application of a Piecewise Function 1. Museum Tour. A museum charges a 5 dollars fee for a guided tour with a group of 1 to 9 persons and a fixed 50 dollars fee for a group with 10 or more Persons. Write a function relating the number of persons (n) to the tour fee (F). Solution: Let F(n) be the function based on the number of people (n). There are two different formulas mentioned in the problem. That is, in a group of fewer than 10, F = 50n, and for a group of 10 or more, F = 500. Hence, _(Snif010 This is how this function looked like in the graph. You will notice that the first formula is linear (purple line) while the second one is in constant (red line) which is 50.
