y=𝑥
Functions can be specified in a variety of ways.
a.) g(x) = 4𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 7
b.) g(x) = 𝑥 + 9
Assignment
For the function f defined by
evaluate each expression
Graph of a function
The graph of the function
consists of all points
(x, f(x)) where x is in the
domain of f,
note that x the directed
distance from the y -axis and
f(x) the directed distance
from the x -axis.
Equation:
y = x²
f(x) = 𝑥 − 2
g(x) = 𝑥² − 9
x2 + y2 = 25

Finding the Domain and Range of a Function
The domain of the function
is the set of all -values for which
which is the interval To find the range,
observe that is never negative.

Operation on Functions
Given the two functions f and g:
(i)Sum, denoted by : f+g
defined by: (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
(ii)Difference, denoted by f-g
defined by: (f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)
(iii)Product, denoted by f.g
defined by: (f.g)(x)= f(x).g(x)
(iv)Quotient, denoted by f/g
defined by: (f/g) (x)= (f(x))/(g(x))
Example 1
f(x) = 2x - 3
g(x) = 𝑥 2 +1
find:
a.) f + g
b.) f g
c.) g/f
(v)Composite, denoted by f °g
