QUESTION 1 (10 MARKS)

List at least 5 real life applications of functions (mathematically).

QUESTION 2 (12 MARKS)

Describe a real event/ situation that can be illustrated as a composite function. Provide an example of
the composite function.

QUESTION 3 (12 MARKS)

Describe a real event/ situation that can be illustrated as a linear function. Provide an example of the
linear function.

Ariff want to set up a birthday party for his daughter next month at Dewan Merdeka but he has
limited budget. Therefore, he have to figure out how much it will cost to rent a space and pay per
person for meals. Imagine that the cost of the rental space is RM250 and the price per person for
food is RM 10, a linear equation can be constructed to show the total cost for the event, which can
be expressed as f(x) or y, and for the number of guests, can be referred as x. Thus, the linear
equation would be written as f(x) = 10x + 250. With this equation, the Ariff can substitute any
number of party guests and he get to know the actual cost of the event with the food and rental
costs included as well.

For example ;

The total number of guests who come to the birthday party is 100 people. So, Ariff can
know the total cost of the event by substituting the total number of guests,100 into the linear
functions f(x)= 10x + 250 .

f(x) = 10x + 250

f(x) = 10(100) + 250

f(x) = 1250

∴ The total cost of the birthday party is RM1250

QUESTION 4 (12 MARKS)
