OBJECTIVE
After going through this module, the
student should be expected to:
• define operations on functions;
• identify the different operations on
functions; and
• perform addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division of functions.
4 COMMON OPERATIONS THAT
CAN BE PERFORMED ON
FUNCTIONS.
Find (𝑓+𝑔)(𝑥)
(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
=(3x+8)+(2x−12)
=3x+8+2x−12
(f+g)(x)=5x−4
Let f (𝑥) = 3𝑥+8 and g (𝑥) = 2𝑥−12
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓-𝑔)(𝑥)
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)
=(3x+8)-(2x−12)
=3x+8-2x+12
(f−g)(x)=x+20
Let f (𝑥) = 3𝑥+8 and g (𝑥) = 2𝑥−12
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓.𝑔)(𝑥)
(f.g)(x)=f(x).g(x)
=(3x+8)(2x−12)
=6 -36x+16x-96
(f.g)(x)=6 -20x-96
Let f (𝑥) = 3𝑥+8 and g (𝑥) = 2𝑥−12
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓/𝑔)(𝑥)
(f.g)(x)=
(f/g)(x)=
Let f (𝑥) = 2x−4 and g (𝑥) = +5
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓+𝑔)(𝑥)
(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
=(2x−4)+(+5)
=2x−4+ +5
(f+g)(x)= +2x+1
Let f (𝑥) = 2x−4 and g (𝑥) = +5
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓-𝑔)(𝑥)
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)
=(2x−4)-(+5)
=2x−4- -5
(f−g)(x)= +2x−9
Let f (𝑥) = 2x−4 and g (𝑥) = +5
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓.𝑔)(𝑥)
(f.g)(x)=f(x).g(x)
=(2x−4)(+5)
=2 +10x -4 -20
=2 -4 +10x -20
(f.g)(x)=2 -4 +10x -20
Let f (𝑥) = 2x−4 and g (𝑥) = +5
EXAMPLE:
Find (𝑓.𝑔)(𝑥)
(f/g)(x)=
(f/g)(x)=
