Algebra of

Functions
Prepared by:
Johnsen N. Palmiano
OBJECTIVES:
Introduction to Algebra of Functions
Identify the basic functions of algebra.
Learn how to apply each function to
the equation.
Introduction:
Functions, as fundamental building
blocks of mathematics, represent
relationships between sets of values.
The algebra of functions extends
this concept by providing a
framework for combining and
manipulating functions to create
new ones. This allows us to analyze
and understand complex
relationships bybreaking them down
into simpler components.

Addition of Functions (f + g):

f(x) + g(x) = (2x - 3) + (x² + 1) = x² + 2x - 2

Subtraction of Functions (f - g):

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


Multiplication of Functions (f * g):

f(x) * g(x) = (2x - 3) * (x² + 1) = 2x³ - 3x² + 2x - 3

Division of Functions (f / g):

f(x) / g(x) = (2x - 3) / (x² + 1)


Conclusion:
The algebra of functions has evolved over centuries, from its early
roots in ancient civilizations to its modern formalization. The
contributions of mathematicians like Descartes, Leibniz, Euler, and
Cauchy have shaped our understanding of functions and their
properties. The algebra of functions remains a fundamental tool in
mathematics, with applications across various fields, highlighting its
enduring importance in the advancement of knowledge and
understanding.
Let’s solve a
Function!!
Problem:

Given two functions:


f(x) = 3x + 2
g(x) = x² - 4

Calculate the following expressions:

(f + g)(x)
(f - g)(x)
(f * g)(x)
(f / g)(x)
