d. Review of the Past Lesson

Good morning class! Good morning ma’am!

Do you still remember our lesson yesterday? Yes ma’am.

What was it all about?

Our lesson yesterday was all about One-to-
One Functions.

Alright. Based on your activity, Which of the

following are one-to-one functions?
(a) books to authors
(b) sim cards to cell phone numbers
(c) true or false questions to answers
(Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence)
Only b is a one-to-one function. Books can
have multiple authors who wrote the book. A
true or false question has only one answer so
it is a function but a “True” answer can
correspond to multiple questions.

Very good. Which of the following relations is a
one-to-one function?
(a) {(0,0), (1,1), (2,8), (3,27), (4,64)}
(b) {(-2,4), (-1,1), (0,0), (1,1), (2,4)}
(c) {(0,4), (1,5), (2,6), (3,7), … (n,,n+4),…}
(Logical-Mathematical Intelligence)
Both a and c are one-to-one functions. B is a
function however it is not one-to-one since it
has y-values that are paired up with two
different x-values.

 The function f is one-to-one if for any 𝑥1 ,
Exactly! So what is one-to-one function then? 𝑥2 in the domain of f, then f(𝑥1 ) ≠ f(𝑥2 ). That is,
(Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence) the same y-values is never paired with two
different x-values.

Excellent! It’s good that you still remember our

lesson about One-to-One Functions. Any
question class? None ma’am.

a. Motivation
(Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, Interpersonal
Intelligence, Logical-Mathematical
Intelligence, Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence)

Before we proceed to our next lesson, let us first

have an activity named “Shuffle and Arrange”.
Are you excited to do this?
Yes ma’am.
You will do it by group and that will be based
on your seating arrangement by row. Row 1 is
group 1; row 2 is group 2, and so on. Did you get
it?
Yes ma’am.
Let us now proceed with the directions.
Everybody please read the first one.

Directions:
1. The teacher will give you an envelope
containing unarranged phrase.

Alright. Now, I will give you the envelopes with 2. Rearrange the phrase to discover a

direction.

Thank you. In the second direction, you will

shuffle the phrase, arrange them and paste it
on the board. Did you get it?

Good. You will do it in 3 minutes. The group who

can answer it correctly will be the winner. Do
you understand? Yes ma’am

Since you have now your envelopes and (The students do the shuffling and arranging

Time is up! Let us now check your works. I will
show to you the correct answer.

Congratulations to the winning group! How did We worked by helping each other and

Let’s hear from the winning group, anyone?

Very good. It is very important for a group to
have cooperation to finish the task easier on
time especially with time pressure. Any question
with the activity class? None ma’am.

2. Presentation and Development of the

Lesson

Your activity a while ago is related to our lesson

for today which is all about “Inverse of a One-
to-One Functions”. Are you excited to learn
about it? Yes ma’am.

Now, how will you define the word “INVERSE”

and relate it in function? (Answers may vary.)

Original Function Inverse Function

x -2 -1 0 1 2 x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2

Based on the illustration, what do you mean by

inverse? A relation reversing the process performed by
(Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence) any function f(x) is called inverse of f(x). This
means that the every element of the range
corresponds to exactly one element of the
domain.

Very Good. And why is that it states one-to-one One-to-one function: Function but not
function? Why not all function? one-to-one
(Spatial Intelligence) x -2 -1 0 1 2 x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 y 4 1 0 1 4

x -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 x 4 1 0 1 4
y -2 -1 0 1 2 y -2 -1 0 1 2

Not a valid function.

A function has an inverse if and only if it is one-

to-one.
Precisely. That’s right! Do you have questions
about inverse? None so far.

For example:

1. Find the inverse of a function described

by the set of ordered pairs {(0,-2), (1,0),
(2,2), (3,4)}.

To get the inverse of the function, simply

interchange the domain and range or the x
and y coordinates.

Therefore, the inverse of the function is {(-2,0),

(0,1), (2,2), (4,3)}.

Can you follow class? Yes ma’am.

Another example:

2. Find the inverse of a function f(x) = 3x+1 (students will do the activity)

To find the inverse of a function, we will have

the following steps. Everyone please read.
To find the inverse of a function or 𝑓 −1 (x)
1. Replace f(x) with y
2. Interchange x and y
3. Solve for the new y in the equation
4. Replace the new y with 𝑓 −1 (x)

Following the steps, we will have:

f(x) = 3x+1
y = 3x+1 Given
x = 3y+1 Interchange x and y.
x - 1 = 3y Solve for y.
𝑥−1 3𝑦
=
3 3
𝑥−1
y= 3
𝑥−1
𝑓 −1(x) = Replace y with 𝑓 −1 (x).
3
Therefore, the inverse of the function f(x) = 3x+1
𝑥−1
is 𝑓 −1 (x) = 3 .

Yes ma’am.
Is it clear to you?

Alright. Let’s have another problem. Can I 1

3. Application

At this moment, we will have a group activity.

Let’s try to solve this problems with a twist. We
will have two groups. Count off 1 to 2 and sit
with your group. Anyone who can read the
problems on the board?
