Arithmetic Combinations 2 Options: Combine the functions (using “x”) with the given operation Plug in a given value into each function, then perform the given operation You will be asked to find the Domain and Range of the combined functions
Example If f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x + 1, find the following: (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) = (fg)(x) = f(x) • g(x) =
Composition of Functions Plug the inside function into the outside Notation: (f ο g)(x) = f(g(x)) Again, if given an x value you can work with all numbers.
Example If f(x) = x + 2and g(x) = 4 – x2, find the following: (f οg)(x) = (g οf)(x) = Find both composites when x = 0, 1, 2
