Combination of Functions Lesson 8.3
Functions to Combine • Enter these functions into your calculator
Combining Functions • Consider the following expressions • Predict what will be the result if you graph
Combining Functions • Turn off the two original functions (F4) • Use them in theexpression for thecombined function • How does this differ from a parabola?
Application • Given two functions having to do with population • P(x) is the number of people • S(x) is the number of people who can be supplied with resources such as food, utilities, etc. • Graph these two functions • Window at 0 < x < 100 and 0 < y < 1000
Population and Supply • Viewing the two functions • Population • Supply • What is the significance of S(x) – P(x) • What does it look like – graph it
Population and Supply • What does it mean? • When should we be concerned?
Population and Supply • Per capita food supply could be a quotient • When would we be concerned on this formula?Set window-5 < y < 5
Combinations Using Tables • Determine the requested combinations
Descriptive Functions • Let f(t) = number of males, g(t) = number of females in Canada in year t • Let h(t) = average income of females in Canada in year t • What is the formula for p(t) • The number of people in Canada in year t • What is the formula for m(t) • The total amount of money earned by Canadian females in year t
Simplifying Formulas • Given functions • Write simplified formulas for • f(x) = u(x) + v(x) • k(x) = v(x)2 • h(x)=2u(x) – 3v(x)
