This time • (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x) • (f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x) • (fg)(x)=f(x)*g(x) • (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x), g(x)≠0 • (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))
Things to remember • Function notation • ƒ(x)=2x-1 is a function definition • x is a number • ƒ(x) is a number • 2x-1 is a number • ƒ is the action taken to get from x to ƒ(x) • Multiply by 2 and add -1
Things to remember • Function notation • ƒ(x)=2x-1 is a function definition • 3 is a number • ƒ(3) is a number • 2*3-1 is a number (it’s 5) • ƒ is the action taken to get from 3 to ƒ(3) • Multiply by 2 and add -1
WARNING • Parentheses are ambiguous • When you have twoNUMBERS, a(b) means “multiply a and b” • When you have aFUNCTION, a(b) means “do the action called a to the number b.” • Always keep track of what’s a function and what’s a number.
The most common confusion of all time • (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x) • (f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x) • (fg)(x)=f(x)*g(x) • (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x), g(x)≠0 • (f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))
COMPARISON (f∘g)(3)=f(g(3)) (fg)(3)=f(3)g(3) -1≠0
WARNING (fg)(x) and f(g(x)) are not the same thing • (fg)(x) means “do f to x, then do g to x, then multiply the numbers f(x) and g(x).” • f(g(x)) means “do g to x, get the number g(x), then do f to the number g(x)” • No multiplying.
In picture form f(x) f f(x)g(x) x * g g(x) Is not the same as g f x g(x) f(g(x))
Interpretive Dance All about multiplication
Multiplication is not repeated addition • Addition is shifting • Multiplication is stretching • And shrinking • No amount of repeated shifting will give you a stretch
Transformations of functions And their graphs
g(3)=ƒ(3)+1.5 (3,f(3)+1.5) (3,f(3))
g(3)=ƒ(3)+1.5 (3,f(3)+1.5) The x is still the same, But the y is 1.5 higher (3,f(3))

Draw a graph where the y’s are the same, but you need a 1 bigger x to make each one. The y of g(3) is the same as the y of f(2) Thinking from ƒg, The y is the same, but the x needed to make that y is 1 bigger (2,f(2)) (3,f(2))
