Module 3: Operations on Functions

Learning Competencies:
 Performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and
composition of function.

Given two functions f and g,

a. Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function defined by ( f +g ) ( x ) =f ( x )+ g ( x ) .


b. Their difference, denoted by f-g, is the function defined by ( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g ( x ) .
c. Their product, denoted by f ∙ g, is the function defined by ( f ∙ g ) ( x )=f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ) .

d. Their quotient, denoted by


f
g
, is the function defined by
f
g ()
( x )=
f (x)
g ( x)
.

Example 1. Find the sum and difference of these functions.

Solution:
( f +g ) ( x ) =f ( x )+ g ( x )
¿ 2 x2 +5 x−10+6 x +5
¿ 2 x2 +5 x +6 x−10+5
2
( f + g)(x)=2 x + 11 x−5

( f −g ) ( x )=f ( x )−g (x)

2
¿ 2 x +5 x−10−(6 x +5)
2
¿ 2 x +5 x−10−6 x−5
2
¿ 2 x +5 x−6 x−10−5
( f −g ) ( x )=2 x2 −x−15

Example 2. Find the product of and


Solution:
Applying the FOIL METHOD,

( x 2 +2 ) ( x−3 )
F=( x 2 ) ( x ) =x3

0=( x 2 ) (−3 )=−3 x 2

I=( 2 ) ( x )=2 x
L=( 2 ) (−3 )=−6
Sum up all the products

Solution:
COMPOSITION FUNCTIONS

Given two functions f and g, the composite function, denoted by


fog ( read as f composed with g ), is defined by ( fog ) ( x )=f [ g ( x ) ] .

Example 5. Given and find
