Lesson 3 - Functions Operations

The document discusses operations on functions such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition of functions. It provides examples of determining the domain and formula of functions resulting from these operations. For addition, subtraction, and multiplication, the domain is the intersection of the domains of the original functions. For division and composition, the domain depends on whether the range of the inner function is contained within the domain of the outer function. The document also discusses expressing functions as compositions and finding the formula and domain of composite functions.

EXAMPLE 1: (example 1 on p.16)
Let f ( x) 1 x 2 and g ( x) x 3
f
Find the domains and formulas for the functions f g , f g , fg , , and 7 f
g
Solution:
The formulas are :
f g ( x) f ( x) g ( x) 1 x 2 x 3 x 2 x2
fg ( x) f ( x) g ( x) 1 x 2 x 3
f f ( x) 1 x 2
( x)
g g ( x) x3
7 f ( x) 7 f ( x) 7 7 x2
The domains of f g , f g , and fg
D f : 2, D g : , 2,
f
The domain of 2 , except 3
g
The domain of 7 f is the same as the domain of f
EXAMPLE :

Find the formulas for f g, f - g, fg, and f ,


g
and state the domains of the functions.

DETERMINATION OF ITS DOMAIN

Definition 0.2.2 (p.


17)
EXAMPLE 1: (example 3 on p.17)
Let f ( x ) x 2 3 and g ( x ) x
Find f g ( x ) and g f ( x ) and their domain

Solution:
The formula for f g f g ( x) ( x ) 2 3 x 3
Since Dg : 0 , and the D f : , , the domain of f g consists of all x in
0 , such
that g ( x ) x lies in , ; thus , the domain of f g is 0 ,
Therefore ( f g )( x ) x 3 , x 0

The formula for g f g f ( x) x2 3


Since D f : , and the Dg : 0 , , the domain of g f consists of all x in
- , such that f ( x ) x 2 3 lies in 0, ; thus , the domain of
g f is - , .
Therefore ( g f )( x ) x 2 3 , there is no need to indicate that the
domain is - , since this is the natural domain of x2 3
EXAMPLE 2: (example 4 on p.18)
Let f (x) x , g( x ) 1 x and h(x) x 3
Find f g h (x)
EXAMPLE 3:
Express the following functions as a composition of two functions.
a ) (x 1) 2
b) sin(x 3 )
c) 4 - 3x
1
d)
x 1
EXAMPLE :

Find formulas for f g, g f, f f, and g g


and state the domains of the compositions.
1. f(x) x ,

g(x) 1 - x
1 x x
2. f(x) , g(x)
