Math 101 Module - Week 4.2

1) A binary operation is a way of assigning an ordered pair of elements from a set to produce a unique response that is also in the set. Binary operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 2) Given two functions f(x) and g(x), binary operations can be performed on them such as addition f(x) + g(x), subtraction f(x) - g(x), multiplication f(x) * g(x), and division f(x) / g(x) if g(x) is not equal to 0. 3) An example shows computing the sum, difference, product, and quotient of two functions f(x) = 2x

Binary Operation

A binary operation* is a set S is a way of assigning every ordered pair of elements, a and b, from the
set, a unique response called c, where c is also from the set S.

a * b = C
first element second element unique response
Operation
from the set from the set from the set

Binary operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The value of f(x) is obtained upon assigning a specific value for x. The variable x represents the
independent variable and y represents the dependent variable.
Given y= f(x) and let a be in the domain of f. Then f(a) represents the second element in the pair of
defining f, or the value of the function at x=a. The value of f(a) is obtained by replacing x by a in f(x).
Examples:

1. Let f ( x )=2 x 3−3 x 2−5 x+2


Find:
a. f(1) b. f(-3)
Solutions:
a. f ( 1 ) =2(1)3 −3 (1 )2−5(1)+2
f ( x )=2 ( 1 )−3 ( 1 )−5+ 2
f ( x )=−4
b. f (−3)=2 (−3 )3−3 (−3 )2−5(−3)+2
f (−3 )=2 (−27 )−3 ( 9 )+ 15+2
f (−3 )=−54−27+15+ 2
f (−3 )=−64
4−x
2. Let f ( x )=
4 x+1
Find:
a. f(2) b. f(b)
Solutions:
4−2 2
a. f ( 2 ) = =
4( 2)+1 9
4−b
b. f ( b )=
4 b+1

A binary operation on a set is a calculation involving two elements of the set to produce another element
of the set.

1. Given two functions : f(x) and g(x), then


2. Sum of the functions : f(x) + g(x)
3. Difference of two functions : f(x) – g(x)
4. Product of two functions : f(x)*g(x)
5. Quotient of two functions : f(x)/g(x), g(x) ≠ 0

Example: 1. Given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = 4x + 4, compute


a. f(x) + g(x)
b. f(x) – g(x)
c. f(x) * g(x)
d. f(x) / g(x), g(x) ≠ 0
Solutions:
a. f(x) + g(x) = (2x + 3) + (4x + 4) = 2x + 3 + 4x + 4 = 6x + 7
b. f(x) – g(x) = (2x + 3) - (4x + 4) = 2x + 3 - 4x - 4 = -2x-1
c. f(x)*g(x) = (2x + 3)*(4x + 4) = 8 x 2+ 8 x+12 x+ 12=8 x 2+20 x +12
(2 x+3) 2 x +3
d. f(x)/g(x) = =
( 4 x+ 4) 4 x + 4
