INTRODUCTION
When a fundamental operation is applied to two or
more given functions, a new function can be formed.

02
Product of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, their
product is the function defined as
Quotient of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, their
quotient is the function defined as
()(x) =
Example 1
()(x) =
()(x) =
Example 2
Let f(x) = and g(x) = . Find ()(x).
Solution:
()(x) =
()(x) =
()(x) = · =
Take the reciprocal, then, multiply.
Your turn!
Composition of Functions
If f and g are functions with domains and , respectively, the
composite function f and g is defined as
(f ⚪ g)(x) = f[g(x)]
Example 1
(f ◯ g)(x) = f[g(x)]
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5(x + 3) - 7
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5x – 15 – 7
(f ◯ g)(x) = -5x – 22
Example 2
Let f(x) = 3x + 4 and g(x) = . Find (g ◯ f)(x).
Solution:
(g ◯ f)(x) = g[f(x)]
(g ◯ f)(x) =
(g ◯ f)(x) =
