OPERATIONS ON

FUNCTION
LESSON OBJECTIVES

At the end of the lesson, the students must be able to:


• find the sum of functions;
• determine the difference between functions;
• identify the product of functions;
• find the quotient between functions; and
• determine the composite of a function.
OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS

In this definition, new functions are formed


from the given functions by adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing function values. These
new functions are called sum, difference,
product and quotient of the original functions.
Operations on Functions
LET F(X)AND G(X) BE ANY
FUNCTIONS.
1. Addition:
( f  g )( x)  f ( x)  g(x)
2. Subtraction: ( f  g )( x)  f ( x)  g(x)
3. Multiplication: ( fg )( x)  f ( x) g(x)
4. Division:
 f  f ( x)
  ( x)  , g ( x)  0
5. Composition of Functions:
g g ( x)

f [ g ( x)] or g[ f ( x)]
wherein the function f(x) replaces all input variables in g(x).

DOMAIN OF OPERATIONS ON
FUNCTIONS
D f  Dg
D f g

}
Intersection of the
domains of f and g, with
D f g
the added restriction on
D fg the quotient function
where f/g is undefined.
Df
g
Consists of the set of values of x for which g(x) is
D f g contained in the domain of f.

Illustrative Examples:
1. Given f(x) = x + 1 and g(x) = x2 – x – 2, find the following:
a. (f+g)(x)
b. (f – g)(x)
c. (f*g)(x)
d. (f/g)(x)
e. (f∘g)(x)
LET’S TRY
THIS!
Let 𝑓 ¿
Define the following functions and determine the domain of each.
1. f+g
2. f/h
3. g-f
4. g(f(-2))
5. h(f(5))

SEATWORK:
Given the following functions, perform the indicated operations.
f(x) = x2 – 14x + 49 g(x)= x - 7
h(x)= x -1 k(x) = x + 5

1. (f + g)(x)
2. (f * k)(x)
3. (f/g)(x)
4. (k- h)(x)
5. (f ∘ h)(x)
