Addition and Subtraction of Functions
When two functions 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) with corresponding domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔 are added or
subtracted the domain of the resulting operation is the intersection of the domain 𝐷𝑓 ∩ 𝐷𝑔 .
To add functions, combine similar terms and simplify.
(𝒇 + 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙) + 𝒈(𝒙)
To subtract functions, get the difference between the two functions (remember to add the
opposite).
(𝒇 − 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙) − 𝒈(𝒙)

b. Find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) d. Find (𝑔 − 𝑓)(−1)
Multiplication and Division of Functions
When two functions 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) with corresponding domains 𝐷𝑓 and 𝐷𝑔 are multiplied
and divided, the domain of the resulting operation is the intersection of the domain 𝐷𝑓 ∩ 𝐷𝑔 .
However, there is a restriction of the domain exists, that the denominator should not be equal
to zero.
To multiply functions, we find the product of the given functions.
(𝒇 ∙ 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒙) ∙ 𝒈(𝒙)
To divide functions, we find the quotient of the given functions.
𝒇 𝒇(𝒙)
( ) (𝒙) =
𝒈 𝒈(𝒙)
