WEEK 4 Operation of Functions

The document discusses operations of functions, specifically multiplication and division. It provides examples of multiplying and dividing functions using various methods like FOIL and distribution. Some key points: - The product of two functions f and g, written f ● g, is the function f(x) ● g(x) - Examples show multiplying functions by distributing, FOIL method, or evaluating functions and multiplying the results - The quotient of two functions f/g is the function f(x)/g(x), excluding values where g(x) = 0 - Examples demonstrate dividing functions by evaluating them and dividing the results

Operations of

Functions
(Multiplication
& Division)
Their product, denoted
by (f ● g), is the function
denoted by
(f ● g)(x) = f(x) ● g(x).

Review:
Multiply with variable and exponent
an ● am = an+m
x2 ● x = x 3
2x ● 4x = 8x2
- 2b2 ● y2 = -2b2y2
Example 1:
Given h(x) = x – 5 and
2

k(x) = 2x – 11,
find:(h•k)(x) = (h(x))(k(x))
h(x)= x2 – 5
SOLUTION: k(x)= 2x-11

1. (h•k)(x) = (h(x))(k(x))
FOIL METHOD
= (x2 – 5) (2x – 11)
FOIL METHOD

(x2 – 5) (2x – 11)

= 2x - 11x2 – 10 x + 55
3
Example 2:
d(x) = x – x + 4 and
2

k(x) = 2x +10
(d•k)(x) = (d(x))(k(x))
d(x)= x2 – x+4
SOLUTION: k(x)= 2x+10

2. (d•k)(x) = (d(x))(k(x))
DISTRIBUTION METHOD
= (x – x + 4 ) (2x+10)
2
DISTRIBUTION METHOD

= (x – x + 4 ) (2x+10)
2

= 2x3+10x – 2x -10x + 8x + 40
2 2

= 2x + 8x – 2x +40
3 2
Example 3:
t(x) = 5x – 2x + 10 and
2

b(x) = 15x +5
2

(t• b)(1) = (t(1))•(b(1))


SOLUTION: t(x)= 5x2 – 2x + 10
b(x)= 15x +5
2

3. (t• b)(1) = (t(1))•(b(1))


= (5x – 2x + 10 ) • (15x +5)
2 2

= (5(1) – 2(1) + 10 ) • (15(1) +5)


2 2

= (5(1) – 2 +10) • (15 (1) +5 )


= (5 +8) • (15+5)
=(13) •(20)
(t• b)(1) = 260
Example 4:
h(x) = x – 4x + 12 and
2

b(x) = 2x – 3
(h• b)(4) = (h(4))•(b(4))
SOLUTION: h(x)= x2 – 4x + 12
b(x)= 2x - 3

4. (h• b)(4) = (h(4))•(b(4))


= (x – 4x + 12) • (2x – 3)
2

= ((4) – 4(4) + 12) • (2(4) – 3)


2

= (16 – 16 +12 ) • (8-3)


= (12) • (5)
(h• b)(4) =60
Example 5:
h(x) = x – 4x + 12 and
2

b(x) = 2x – 3
(h• b)(-1) = (h(-1))•(b(-1))
SOLUTION: h(x)= x2 – 4x + 12
b(x)= 2x - 3

5. (h• b)(-1) = (h(-1))•(b(-1))


= (x – 4x + 12) • (2x – 3)
2

= ((-1) – 4(-1) + 12) • (2(-1) – 3)


2

= (1 + 4 +12 ) • (-2-3)
= (17) • (-5)
(h• b)(-1) =-85
Example 6:
g(x) = x + 2x + 6 and
2

h(x) = 5x – 10
(g• h)(-4) = (h(-4))•(b(-4))
SOLUTION: g(x)= x2 +2x + 6
h(x)= 5x - 10

6. (g• h)(-4) = (h(-4))•(b(-4))


= (x + 2x + 6)• (5x – 10)
2

= ((-4) +2(-4) + 6) • (5(-4) – 10)


2

= (16 – 8 +6 ) • (-20-10)
= (14) • (-30)
(h• b)(-4) =-420
Their quotient, denoted by
f/g, is the function denoted by
(f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x), excluding
the values of x where g(x) ≠ 0.
