Functions can be combined using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The document defines these operations on functions: 1) The sum of functions f and g, written as (f + g)(x), equals f(x) + g(x). 2) The difference of functions f and g, written as (f - g)(x), equals f(x) - g(x). 3) The product of functions f and g, written as (f ∙ g)(x), equals f(x) ∙ g(x). 4) The quotient of functions f and g, written as (f/g)(x), equals f(x) /

Modules on Operations on Functions

Functions can be defined in terms of other functions. For example, the function defined by h ( x )= x 2 + 8x is the
sum of f ( x )=x 2 and g ( x )=8 x

f
Thus, if we are given any two functions f and g, we can define the four new functions f + g, f – g, fg, and as
g
follows:

Definitions of Operations on Functions

If f and g are functions with domains Df and D g, then we define the sum, difference, product, and quotient of f
and g as

Sum ( f + g )( x )=f ( x )+ g ( x )
Difference ( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g ( x )
Product ( f . g ) ( x )=f ( x ) ∙ g ( x )
f f (x )
Quotient () g
( x )=
g(x)

Examples:

Let f ( x )=3 x−2∧g ( x ) =x2 +6. Then,

Sum ( f + g )( x )=f ( x )+ g ( x )=( 3 x−2 ) + ( x 2 +6 ) =x 2+3 x +4


Difference ( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g ( x )=( 3 x−2 )−( x2 +6 )=−x 2 +3 x−8
Product ( f ∙ g ) ( x ) =f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ) =( 3 x −2 ) ( x 2 +6 ) =3 x3 −2 x 2+18 x−12
f f ( x ) 3 x−2
Quotient () g
( x )= =
g ( x ) x 2+ 6

Exercises

Let f ( x )=x 2−9 and g ( x )=2 x +6. Find the following :

a. ( f + g )( 5 )=¿
b. ( fg ) (−1 )=¿
f
c. ()
