Chapter 1.2 Operations of Functions
Definition:
A relation is a set of ordered pairs of
numbers. The set of all first elements that occur in
a relation is the domain of the relation, and the set
of all second elements is the range of the relation.
Definition:
A function is a relation in which no two
ordered pairs have the same first element and
distinct second elements.
OPERATIONS OF
FUNCTIONS
The sum of f + g
1. f(x) + g(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
3. f(3) + h(-1)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
4. f(2) + h(-4)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
1. f(x) – h(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
3. f(3) – h(1)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
4. f(2) – g(-4)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
1. f(x) · h(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
3. f(2) · h(3)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 3 ; g(x) = 4x + 1 ; h(x) = x2 + 3x – 5
1. f(x) / h(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
2. f(x) / g(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
3. f(2) / g(6)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
4. g(3) / g(2)
Composition of
Functions
The Composition Function
(f ͦ g) (x) = f (g (x))
This is read “f composition g” and to find the
composition of f and g at a specific value of x, you
first apply g to x, and then you apply f to the result.
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
1. f(x) ͦ h(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
2. f(x) ͦ g(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
3. f(x) ͦ g(x) ͦ h(x)
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
4. f(g(3))
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
5. f(h(-1))
Given that:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x ; g(x) = x + 2 ; h(x) = 2x
6. f(g(h(-1)))
Activity 1: Apply the operations on functions
Given that:
f(x) = 3x + 3; g(x) = x2 – 2x + 1; h(x) = 2x2 – 2; j(x) = x2 – 1
