Module 3: Day 1-Operations on Functions

Learning Objectives:
1. define operations on functions
2. identify the different operations on functions
3. perform addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, and composition of functions
Review: What is a function?

 A relationship where every domain (x value has


exactly one unique range (y value).
 Sometimes we talk about a FUNCTION MACHINE,
where a rule is applied to each input of x
Definition. Let f and g be functions.

Subtractio n :  f  g x   f x  g x 
Multiplica tion :  f g x   f x g x 
Adding and Subtracting Functions

Let f x  3 x  8 and g x  2 x  12.


Find f  g and f - g
f  g ( x )  f x  g x  f  g ( x )  f x  g x 
(3 x  8)  ( 2 x  12) (3 x  8)  ( 2 x  12)
5 x  4  x  20
When we look at functions we also want to look at
their domains (valid x values). In this case, the
domain is all real numbers.
Multiplying Functions

Let f x   x - 1 and gx   x  1.

Other examples with values of a function

If g(x) = 2x-4 and h(x) = 2x-7,


1. find (g+h)(3)
2. find (g-h) (-2)
If g(x) = 2x-4 and h(x) = 2x-7,
3. find (g· h) (0)
4. find (g/h) (1)
Day 2- Composite Function – When you
combine two or more functions
The composition of
function g with function g  f x  g  f x 
is written as

1. Evaluate the inner function f(x) first. 2

2. Then use your answer as the input


of the outer function g(x).
Example – Composition of Functions
