Lesson 4 Operations On Functions

The document discusses operations on functions including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition of functions. It provides examples of performing these operations on specific functions and simplifying the results. These operations include finding the sum, difference, product, and quotient of two functions f(x) and g(x), as well as the composition of functions f(g(x)) and g(f(x)). Practice problems are provided to apply these operations on given functions.

OPERATIONS ON

FUNCTIONS
OBJECTIVES
• By the end of the lesson, I shall be able to:
• perform addition, subtraction,
multiplication and composition of
functions;
• simplify operation of functions; and
• participate actively during discussion.
ENTRY CARD
Perform the indicated operations.
1.(4x + 3) – (3x – 1)
2.(2x2 – 5x +3) – (8x – 6)
3.( 3 + 𝑥) ( 3 − 𝑥 )
SUM, DIFFERENCE, PRODUCT AND
QUOTIENT OF FUNCTIONS

• Let f and g be any two functions.


1. Sum: (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
2. Difference: (f – g) (x) = f(x) – g(x)
3. Product: (fg)(x) = (fg) (x) = f(x) ∙ g(x)
4. Quotient: f/g(x) = (f(x))/g(x) , where g(x) ≠ 0
Example 1
If f(x) = 3x – 2 and g(x) = x2 + 2x – 3, find

Example 1

a) (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
= (3x – 2) + (x2 + 2x – 3)

If f(x) = 3x – 2 and g(x) = x2 + 2x – 3, find
b) (f – g) (x) = f(x) – g(x)
= (3x – 2) - (x2 + 2x – 3)
= 3x – 2 - x2 - 2x + 3
=- x 2 + x +1
c) (fg) (x) = f(x) ∙ g(x)
= (3x – 2) (x2 + 2x – 3)
= 3x (x2 + 2x – 3) -2(x2 + 2x – 3)
= 3x3 + 6x2 – 9x -2x2- 4x + 6

The domain of f/g is the set of all real numbers except -3 and 1.
{x⁄(x ≠ -3 and x ≠1)}.
COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS

The composition of function f with g is


denoted by
(f ∘ g) (x) =f(g(x))
EXAMPLE :
Given f(x) = 4x – 5 and g(x) = x2 + 4, find:
a)(f ∘ g) (x) =f(g(x))
b)(g ∘ f) (x) =g(f(x))
c)(g ∘ f) (x) =g(f(-6))
SOLUTION:
Given f(x) = 4x – 5 and g(x) = x2 + 4, find:
a)(f ∘ g) (x) =f(g(x))
= 4((g(x)) – 5
= 4(x2 + 4) – 5
= 4x2 +16 – 5
= 4x2 +11
Solution:
a) (g ∘ f) (x) =g(f(x))
= (f(x))2 + 4
= (4x - 5 )2 + 4
= 16x2 - 40x + 25 + 4
= 16x2 - 40x + 29
