SYNTHESIS
Sum, Difference, Product and Quotient of Functions
Let f and g be any two functions.
1. Sum: (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
2. Difference: (f – g) (x) = f(x) – g(x)
3. Product: (fg)(x) = (fg) (x) = f(x) ∙ g(x)
𝑓 𝑓(𝑥)
4. Quotient: (x) = , where g(x) ≠ 0
𝑔 𝑔 𝑥
Composition of Functions
The composition of function f with g is denoted by
(f ∘ g) (x) =f(g(x))
