7.7 Operations on Functions What you’ll learn: To find the sum, difference, product and quotient of functions. To find the composition of functions
Operations with functions Sum (f+g)(x) = f(x)+g(x) Difference (f-g)(x) = f(x)-g(x) Product (f·g)(x) = f(x)·g(x) Quotient (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x) g(x)≠0
Given f(x)=3x²+7x and g(x)=2x²-x-1, find each function: • (f+g)(x) • (f-g)(x) • (f·g)(x)
Composition of functions If f and g are functions such that the range of g is a subset of the domain of f. Then the composite function f g can be described by the equation [f g](x) = f[g(x)]. [f g](x) is defined only if the range of g(x) is a subset of the domain of f(x). Also, [g f](x) is defined only if the range of f(x) is a subset of the domain of g(x). If given equations, plug one equation in place the variables in the other equation and simplify.
