INTRODUCTION
When a fundamental operation is applied to two or
more given functions, a new function can be formed.
01
Sum and Difference of
Functions
Starting Point

If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, their sum


is the function defined as

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

and their difference is the function defined as

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x).


Example 1

Let f(x) = 2x3 – 5x + 4 and g(x) = 3x2 + 2x – 6. Find (f + g)(x).


Solution:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)


(f + g)(x) = (2x3 – 5x + 4) + (3x2 + 2x – 6)
(f + g)(x) = 2x3 – 5x + 4 + 3x2 + 2x – 6
(f + g)(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 - 3x – 2
Example 2

Let f(x) = 2x3 – 5x + 4 and g(x) = 3x2 + 2x – 6. Find (f - g)(x).


Solution:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)


(f - g)(x) = (2x3 – 5x + 4) - (3x2 + 2x – 6)
(f - g)(x) = 2x3 – 5x + 4 - 3x2 - 2x + 6
(f - g)(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 7x – 10
What if?

Let f(x) = 7x + 5 and g(x) = 2x2 - 5.

1. Find (f + g)(2).

2. Find (g - f)(3).
Your turn!

Let f(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x – 6.

1. Find (f + g)(x)

2. Find (f - g)(x)
Your turn!

Let f(x) = and g(x) = .

1. Find (f + g)(x)

2. Find (f - g)(x)
Activity 2

Let f(x) = , g(x) = , and h(x) = .

1. Find (f + g)(x).

2. Find (f - g)(x).

3. Find (g - h)(x).

4. Find (f - h)(x).
02

Product of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, their
product is the function defined as

(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)


Example 1
Let f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = x + 3. Find (f · g)(x).
Solution:

(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)


(f · g)(x) = (x + 2)(x + 3)
(f · g)(x) = x2 + 5x + 6
Example 2
Let f(x) = and g(x) = . Find (f · g)(x).
Solution:

(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)


(f · g)(x) = ·
Factoring will make this easier.
(f · g)(x) = ·
(f · g)(x) = 1 Cancellation.
Your turn!

Let f(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x – 6. Find (f · g)(x).


Your turn!

Let f(x) = and g(x) = . Find (f · g)(-2).


03

Quotient of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, their
quotient is the function defined as

()(x) =
Example 1

Let f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = x + 3. Find ()(x).


Solution:

()(x) =
()(x) =
Example 2
Let f(x) = and g(x) = . Find ()(x).
Solution:

()(x) =
()(x) =
()(x) = · =
Take the reciprocal, then, multiply.
Your turn!

Let f(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 2x – 6. Find ()(x).


Your turn!

Let f(x) = and g(x) = . Find ()(-2).


04

Composition of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, the
composite function f and g is defined as

(f ⚪ g)(x) = f[g(x)]
Example 1

Let f(x) = -5x - 7 and g(x) = x + 3. Find (f ◯ g)(x).


Solution:

(f ◯ g)(x) = f[g(x)]
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5(x + 3) - 7
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5x – 15 – 7
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5x – 22
Example 2
Let f(x) = 3x + 4 and g(x) = . Find (g ◯ f)(x).

(g ◯ f)(x) = g[f(x)]
