LESSON 3: OPERA
You can obtain a ne function by adding, subtracting,
multiplying, and dividing functions. Accordingly, these new
functions are called the sum, difference, product, and
quotient of the original functions.
Given two functions f and g.
•Their sum, denoted by f+g, is the function defined by (f+g)
(x)= f(x) + g(x).
•Their difference, denoted by f-g, is the function defined by
(f-g)(x)= f(x) – g(x).
•Their product, denoted by f ∙ g, is the function defined by (f
∙ g)(x)= f(x) ∙ g(x).
The SUM Function
The addition of function involves the creation of a new
function through the addition of two other functions.

Let f(x)= and g(x)= x – 1. Find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥).


Example 1:

Solution:
(f+g)(x)=

The domain of (f+g)(x) is the set of


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

The domain of (f+g)(x) is the set of real numbers.
The DIFFERENCE Function
The subtraction of function involves the creation of a new
function through the subtraction of two other functions.

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


Example 3:

(𝑓 - 𝑔)(𝑥) = – (2x – 2)
Solution:

The domain of (f-g)(x) is the set of
real numbers.
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = and 𝑔(𝑥) = 15𝑥 + 62. Find (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥).
Example 4:

(𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = − (15𝑥 + 62)


Solution:

=
The domain of (f-g)(x) is the set of real numbers.
The PRODUCT Function
The multiplication of function involves the creation of a new
function through the multiplication of two other functions.

numbers.
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 15𝑥 + 8 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 6𝑥 − 9. Find (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥).

(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = (15𝑥 + 8) (6𝑥 − 9)

The QUOTIENT Function
When you divide two such functions together, you get what is
called a rational expression. A rational expression is the
division of two polynomials. If they divide evenly, your
