The learner performs operation on functions and composite functions. (M11GM-Ia-3)
Addition and Subtraction of Functions
When two functions 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) with corresponding domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔 are added or
subtracted the domain of the resulting operation is the intersection of the domain 𝐷𝑓 ∩ 𝐷𝑔 .
To add functions, combine similar terms and simplify.
(𝒇 + 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙)
To subtract functions, get the difference between the two functions (remember to add the
opposite).
(𝒇 − 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙) − 𝒈(𝒙)
