Lesson 3 - Functions Operations

This document discusses operations on functions and determining the domains of functions resulting from those operations. It provides examples of adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and composing functions. The examples show how to calculate the formulas for the new functions and state their domains. It also defines a composite function and gives an example of finding the formula and domain of a composite function formed by composing three other functions.

FUNCTIONS

OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
OBJECTIVES:
perform operations on functions;
determine the domain of the given functions;
determine the domain of the resulting functions
after performing the operations on functions; and
define a composite function and give its domain.
