Operations On Functions

The document discusses operations that can be performed on functions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It provides examples of adding and subtracting functions by evaluating f(x) + g(x) and f(x) - g(x) for various functions f(x) and g(x). The key steps are to evaluate each individual function at a given value of x and then perform the operation.

OPERATIONS ON

FUNCTIONS
LESSON 3
OBJECTIVES:
• Add, subtract, multiply, and divide
functions.
OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
• Let and be any two functions. You can add, subtract, multiply
or divide and to form a new function.
• The domain of new function consist of the -values that are in
the domains of both and .
• The key is to pay close attention to the order in which we
evaluate the functions
