General Mathematics Lesson 3 Operations On Functions & Composition of Functions

This document discusses operations on functions and composition of functions. It provides examples of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. It also gives examples of performing operations on various functions like addition, subtraction, and composition. Composite functions are defined as combining two functions by using the output of one function as the input of another. Examples are provided of finding composite functions and describing what they represent in word problems involving functions of volume and revenue.

RECALL: Addition and Subtraction
a. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of both
fractions.
b. Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the
same LCD.
c. The LCD is the denominator of the resulting fraction.
d. The sum or difference of the numerators is the
numerator of the resulting fraction.
Example 1. Find the sum of 𝟏/𝟑 and 𝟐/𝟓
Example 2. Find the sum of
RECALL: Multiplication
a. Rewrite the numerator and denominator in terms of its
prime factors.
b. Common factors in the numerator and denominator
can be simplified as “1”.
c. Multiply the numerators together to get the new
numerator.
d. Multiply the denominators together to get the new
denominator
Example 3. Find the product of

Example 4. Find the product of


RECALL: Division
To divide two fractions or rational expressions, multiply
the dividend with the reciprocal of the divisor

Example 5.
Operations on Functions
Use the following functions below for Example 6

•𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙 + 𝟑
•𝒑(𝒙) = 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟕
•𝒗(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟒
•𝒈(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟖
•𝒉(𝒙) = (𝒙+𝟕)/( 𝟐−𝒙)
•𝒕(𝒙) = (𝒙+𝟐)/(𝒙+𝟑)
Example 6. Determine the following functions
a) (𝑣 + 𝑔)(𝑥)
Example 6. Determine the following functions
b) (𝑓 ● 𝑝)(𝑥)

c) (𝑓 + ℎ)(𝑥)
Example 6. Determine the following functions

PROBLEMS INVOLVING FUNCTIONS
Example 11
Suppose that 𝑁(𝑥) = 𝑥 denotes the number of shirts sold
by a shop, and the selling price per shirt is given by
𝒑(𝒙) = 𝟐𝟓𝟎 – 𝟓𝒙, for 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 20. Find (𝑁 ● 𝑝)(𝑥)
and describe what it represents.
Solution:
(𝑁 ● 𝑝)(𝑥) = 𝑁(𝑥)●𝑝(𝑥) = 𝑥 (𝟐𝟓𝟎 – 𝟓𝒙) = 𝟐𝟓𝟎𝒙 − 𝟓𝒙𝟐, 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 20. Since this
function is the product of the quantity sold and the selling price, then
(𝑁 ● 𝑝)(𝑥) represents the revenue earned by the company.
PROBLEMS INVOLVING FUNCTIONS
Example 12
A spherical balloon is being inflated. Let 𝑟(𝑡) = 3𝑡 cm
represent its radius at time 𝑡 seconds, and let
𝑔(𝑟) = 4 𝜋𝑟3 be the volume of the same balloon if its
3
radius is 𝑟. Write (𝑔 ○ 𝑟) in terms of 𝑡, and describe what it
represents.
PROBLEMS INVOLVING FUNCTIONS
Solution:

This function represents the volume of the balloon at time


t seconds.
