RELATION FUNCTION
A relation is a rule that relates A function is a relation where each

more outputs.
A relation is also a set of ordered A function is a set of ordered pairs (x,y)
pairs (x,y). such that no two ordered pairs have the
same x – value.
The following diagrams are example of relations. Can you determine which
among them illustrates a function?
The following sets of ordered pairs are example of relations. Which among
them is a function and which one is not?
{(-2, 5), (-1, 0), (2, -3)} – Function
{(-1, 0), (0, -3), (2, -3), (3, 0), (2, 3), 4, 5)} – Not a Function
{(3, 1), (4,1), (5, 1)} – Function
{(7, 1), (6, 1), (7, 2), (6, 2)} – Not a Function

By using the vertical line test, a graph represents a function if and only if each
vertical line intersects the graph at most once.
Example 1: In the Philippines, 12% Value Added Tax or VAT applies to practically
all sales of services and imports, as well as to the sale, barter, exchange, or lease
of goods or properties (tangible or intangible). If you purchased an x amount of
goods from a grocery store, determine the function V for the amount of VAT that
you will pay. How much is the VAT if your total purchase is at ₱1,000?
Solution:
Since VAT is at 12% or 0.12, then the function for this problem is V(x) = 0.12x.
If you purchased ₱1,000 worth of goods, then V(1,000) = (0.12)(1,000) = ₱120.
Therefore, the VAT that the customer pays given the situation above is ₱120.
Example 2: In Bacolod City, the average per hour rate that an internet café charges
is at ₱20/hour. Determine the function C for the cost of consuming x number of
hours. How much will a student pay if he used 2.5 hours to accomplish his school
project?
Solution:
The Cost function for this scenario is C(x) = 20x. By substitution,
C(2.5) = (20)(2.5) = ₱50. Thus, the student must pay ₱50 for the 2.5 hours of
internet consumption. Note that C(x) is read as C of x.
There are functions that requires more than one formula in order to obtain
the given output. There are instances when we need to describe situations in
which a rule or relationship changes as the input value crosses certain
boundaries. In this case, we need to apply the piecewise function.
2
A piecewise function is a function in which more than one formula is used
to define the output. Each formula has its own domain, and the domain of the
function is the union of all these smaller domains. We notate this idea like this:
Example 1:
A user is charged ₱300 monthly for a particular mobile plan which includes 100
free text messages. Message in excess of 100 are charged ₱1 each. Represent
the amount T a consumer pays each month as a function of the number of
message 𝒎 sent in a month. How much will a user pay if he had 500 messages
sent in a month?
Solution: Let T (m) represent the amount paid by the customer each month. It
can be expressed by the piecewise function:
Example 2:
The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law (TRAIN Law), officially
designated as Republic Act No. 10963, is the initial package of the
Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP) signed into law by President
Rodrigo Duterte on December 19, 2017. The table below is the new TRAIN law
tax rates. Illustrate a piecewise function to represent the annual tax T in terms of
the annual income 𝒊.
3
Solution:
The input value is the annual income and the output value is the annual tax. If
T (𝒊) represents the annual tax, then the function can be represented as follows:
T (𝒊) =
Questions:
a. How much is the annual tax if your annual income is ₱185,000?
Solution: T(185,000) = 0 or No Tax
b. If your annual income is ₱300,000, solve for your annual tax.
Solution: T(300,000) = (300,000 – 250,000)(0.20) = (50,000)(0.20) = ₱10,000
c. Determine the annual tax if the annual income of a government employee is
at ₱1,000,000.
Solution: T(1,000,000) = 130,000 + (1,000,000 – 800,000)(0.30)
T(1,000,000) = 130,000 + [(200,000)(0.30)]
T(1,000,000) = 130,000 + 60,000 = ₱190,000
Example 3:
A jeepney ride costs ₱8 for the first 4 kilometers, and each additional integer
kilometer adds ₱1.50 to the fare. Use a piecewise function to represent the
jeepney fare F in terms of the distance d in kilometers. How much will a passenger
pay if the distance traveled was 7 kilometers?
Solution:
The input value is the distance and the output value is the cost of the jeepney fare.
If F (d) represents the fare as a function of distance, then the function can be
represented as follows:
𝟖 𝒊𝒇 𝟎 < 𝒅 ≤ 𝟒
F (d) = {
𝟖 + 𝟏. 𝟓𝟎(𝒅 − 𝟒) 𝒊𝒇 𝒅 > 𝟒
if d = 7
F(d) = 8 + 1.50(d – 4) = 8 + 1.50(7 – 4) = 8 + 1.50(3) = 8 + 4.50 = 12.50
Therefore, the passenger must pay ₱12.50.

1. Suppose that 𝑵(𝒙) = 𝒙 denotes the number of shirts sold by a shop and the
selling price per shirt is given by 𝒑(𝒙) = 𝟐𝟓𝟎 − 𝟓𝒙 where 𝟎 ≤ 𝒙 ≤ 𝟐𝟎.
Find (𝑵 • 𝒑)(𝒙) and describe what it represents.
Solution:
(𝑁 • 𝑝)(𝑥 ) = 𝑁(𝑥 ) • 𝑝(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 (250 − 5𝑥 ) = 250𝑥 − 5𝑥 2
Since the function (𝑁 • 𝑝)(𝑥 ) is the product of the quantity sold and the selling
price, then it represents the revenue earned by the company.

2. In an experiment, a researcher has concluded that a dosage of g grams of a
certain medicinal formula causes a rat to increase its mass M in grams. Using
the function 𝑴(𝒈) = 𝟐(𝒈 + 𝟐𝟓), how much mass would a rat gain if 30 grams
of the medicinal formula is administered to it?
Solution:
𝑴(𝒈) = 𝟐(𝒈 + 𝟐𝟓) = 𝟐(𝟑𝟎 + 𝟐𝟓) = 2 (55) = 110
Therefore, the mass of the said rat will increase by 110 grams.
3. As a working student, Julia bakes cakes and sells every one whole of cake at
₱750. The cost of making a whole of cake is at ₱225 and the operating
expense is at ₱1,250. Construct a monthly profit function P for the x number
of cakes baked. How much is her profit if 20 cakes were sold in a month?
Solution:
𝑷(𝒙) = 𝟓𝟐𝟓𝒙 − 𝟏, 𝟐𝟓𝟎
𝑷(𝟐𝟎) = 𝟓𝟐𝟓(𝟐𝟎) − 𝟏, 𝟐𝟓𝟎 = 𝟗, 𝟐𝟓𝟎
Thus, Julia’s profit after selling 20 cakes in a month is ₱9,250.
