Functions Ws 2

Operations on functions include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations create a new function by applying the operation to the outputs of the original functions. For example, to add functions f(x) and g(x), the new function is (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x). The domain of the new function is the common domain of the original functions.

Operations on Functions: Adding/Subtracting/Multiplying/Dividing Functions

A function is a relation that assigns to each input value exactly one output value. Like
numbers and variables we can add, subtract, multiply and divide functions which results
into a new function. Below are the rules to perform these operations on functions.

Let f(x) and g(x) be two functions:

Operations Functions Examples

Addition (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 4 and g(x) = 2x + 3

(f + g)(x) = (2x2 + 3x – 4) + (2x + 3) = 2x2 + 5x – 1

Subtraction (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) f(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 4 and g(x) = 2x + 3

(f – g)(x) = (2x2 + 3x – 4) – (2x + 3) = 2x2 + x – 7

Multiplication (f•g)(x) = f(x)•g(x) f(x) = 3x – 5 and g(x) = x

(f•g)(x) = (3x – 5)•(x) = 3x2 – 5x

Division (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x), f(x) = 3x2 + 4x – 3 and g(x) = x


where g(x) ≠ 0
(f/g)(x) = (3x2 + 4x – 3)/x = = 3x + 4 – 3/x

Practice 3:

Step 1: Function Operation

a) (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 1 + 4 − 𝑥

b) (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 1 − 4 − 𝑥

c) (𝑓 • 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) × 𝑔(𝑥) = ( 𝑥 − 1)( 4 − 𝑥)

𝑓 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑥−1
d) ( 𝑔 )(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥)
=
4−𝑥

Step 2: Find Domain

Domain of 𝑓(𝑥):
𝑥−1≥0
⇒𝑥 ≥ 1

Domain of 𝑔(𝑥):
4−𝑥≥0
⇒ − 𝑥 ≥− 4
⇒𝑥 ≤ 4

Now,
a) Domain of (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) → {𝑥: 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4}
b) Domain of (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) → {𝑥: 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4}
c) Domain of (𝑓 • 𝑔)(𝑥) → {𝑥: 1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4}

𝑓
d) Domain of ( 𝑔 )(𝑥) → {𝑥: 1 ≤ 𝑥 < 4}

For Numerator: D → 𝑥 − 1 ≥ 0 ⇒ 𝑥 ≥ 1
For Denominator: D → 4 − 𝑥 > 0 ⇒ 𝑥 < 4
For Combined Domain: D → 𝑥 ≥ 1, 𝑥 < 4
