Combining Functions A way of creating new functions to combine two or more functions to create a new function. • The most obvious way we can do this is to perform basic algebraic operations on the two functions to create the new one • Add, subtract, multiply or divide functions. • The algebra of real numbers: 4 x 5 = 20, 4 - 5 = -1 • The algebra of functions: fg, f-g, etc
Relations and Implicitly Defined Functions • Relation: A set of ordered pairs of real numbers • If the relation happens to relate a single value of y to each value of x, then the relation is also a function and its graph will pass the vertical line test • Implicitly defined function: A function that is a subset of a relation defined by an equation in x and y
Example - Relation • Determine which of the ordered pairs (2,-5), (1,3), and (2,1) are in the relation defined by + . Is this relation a function? (2,-5): (2(5) + (-5 = 5 (1,3): (1(3) + (3 = 12 = 5 (2,1): (2(1) + (1 = 5 So, (2,-5) and (2,1) are in the relation, but (1,3) is not. Since the equation relates two different y-values (-5 and 1) to the same x-value (2), the relation cannot be a function.
Example - Implicitly The graph consists of two parallel lines, each the graph of one of the implicitly defined functions
