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: Application:
Adding two functions is
like combining their If f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) =
outputs for the same 2x, then
input. (f + g)(x) = (x + 3) + (2x)
= 3x + 3.
Subtraction: Application:
• Subtracting functions
If f(x) = 2x and g(x) =
involves finding the

(f - g)(x) = (2x) - (x - 1) =
outputs for the same
x + 1.

Application:
Multiplication: If f(x) = x² and g(x) =
• Multiplying functions 3x, then
means multiplying their (f * g)(x) = (x²) * (3x) =
outputs for the same 3x³.
