4 Operation of Functions

This document discusses operations on functions. It defines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of functions. It provides examples of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing various functions. It also shows how to express one function as the sum, difference, product, or quotient of other given functions through examples. The key points are: 1) Functions can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided by performing the corresponding operation on their outputs. 2) Common functions are provided and examples show how to calculate the sum, difference, product, and quotient of combinations of these functions. 3) Applications demonstrate expressing given functions as the sum, difference, product, or quotient of the example functions through algebraic manipulation.

Operations of Functions

Let f and g be functions:


(a) Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function defined
by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).
(b) Their difference, denoted by f – g, is the function
defined by (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x).
(c) Their product, denoted by f * g, is the function defined
by (f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).
(d) Their quotient, denoted by f / g, is the function
defined by (f / g)(x) = f(x) / g(x), excluding the values
of x where g(x) = 0.

Lets try!
f(x) = x + 3 g(x) = x2 + 2x – 8

p(x) = 2x – 7 h(x) =

v(x) = x2 + 5x + 4 t(x) =

Determine the following functions.

(a) (v + g)(x) (c) (f + h)(x) (e) (v/g)(x)


(b) (f*p)(x) (d) (p – f)(x)
Lets try!
Solution:
(a) (v + g)(x) = (x2 + 5x + 4) + (x2 + 2x – 8)

= 2x2 + 7x – 4

(b) (f*p)(x) = (x + 3) + (2x – 7)

= 2x2 – x - 21
Lets try!
Solution:
(c) (f + h)(x) = (x + 3) +

= = * =
Lets try!
Solution:

(d) (p – f)(x) = (2x – 7) – (x + 3)


= 2x – 7 – x – 3

= x – 10
Lets try!
Solution:

(e) (v/g)(x) = (x2 + 5x + 4) / (x2 + 2x – 8)

= (x2 + 5x + 4) / (x2 + 2x – 8)

Application:
Express the function f1(x) = x2 + 3 as sum or
difference of the functions.
f(x) = 2x + 1 q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 r(x)=

Solution:
q(x) + f(x) = (x2 – 2x + 2) + (2x + 1)
= x2 – 2x + 2 + 2x + 1
= x2 + 3
= f1(x) Thus f1(x) = q(x) + f(x)
Application:
Express the function f2(x) = x2 – 4x + 1 as
sum or difference of the functions.
f(x) = 2x + 1 q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 r(x)=

Solution:
q(x) – f(x) = (x2 – 2x + 2) – (2x + 1)
= x2 – 2x + 2 – 2x – 1
= x2 – 4x + 1
= f2(x) Thus f2(x) = q(x) – f(x)
SEATWORK:
Express the function g1(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + 2x + 2
as a product or quotient of the functions.
f(x) = 2x + 1 q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 r(x)=

Solution:
f(x)* q(x) = (2x + 1)(x2 – 2x + 2)
= (2x)(x2 – 2x + 2) + (x2 – 2x + 2)
= (2x3 – 4x2 + 4x) + (x2 – 2x + 2)
= 2x3 – 3x2 + 2x + 2
= f2(x) Thus g1(x) = f(x)* q(x)
SEATWORK:
Express the function g2(x) = x – 1 as a product
or quotient of the functions.
f(x) = 2x + 1 q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 r(x)=
Solution:
f(x) / r(x) = (2x + 1) ÷

= (2x + 1)*

=x-1

= g2(x) Thus g3(x) = r(x) / f(x)


SEATWORK:
Express the function g3(x) = as a product or
quotient of the functions.
f(x) = 2x + 1 q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 r(x)=
Solution:
r(x) / f(x) = ÷ (2x + 1)

= *

= g3(x) Thus g3(x) = r(x) / f(x)
