6-6 Function Operations

Kiran Satyavarapu
Algebra II
Coolidge High School

Objective
To add,

subtract, multiply and divide


functions
To find the composite of two functions

Key concepts
Addition : f g ( x) f x g x

Multiplication : f g x f x g x
Subtraction : f g x f x g x
f
f x
Division : x
where g x 0
g x
g

Adding and Subtracting Functions


Let f x 3x 8 and g x 2 x 12.
Find f g and f - g

f g ( x) f x g x

(3 x 8) (2 x 12)
5x 4

(3 x 8) (2 x 12)

g ( x) f x g x

x 20

Your turn
f(x) = 4x + 7 and g(x) = x + x. Find the value of f + g and f g

(f

+ g)(x)

(f

g)(x)

Multiplying Functions
Let f x x - 1 and g x x 1.
Find f g
2

f x g ( x) ( x 2 1)( x 1)
x3 x 2 x 1

In this case, the domain is


all real numbers because
there are no values that will
make the function invalid.

Your Turn
Let f x x - 9 and g x x 3.
Find f g
2

In this case, the domain is


all real numbers because
there are no values that will
make the function invalid.

Dividing Functions
Let f x x 2 - 1 and g x x 1.
f
Find
g

f x x2 1

g x
x 1
( x 1)( x 1)
x 1
( x 1)

In this case, the domain is


all real numbers EXCEPT
-1, because x=-1 would give
a zero in the denominator.

Lets Try Some


Let f x 5 x 2 - 1 and g x 5 x 1.
Find f x g ( x)

What is the domain?

Find f x g ( x)

Lets Try Some


Let f x 6 x 2 7x - 5 and g x 2 x 1.
Find f x g ( x)

What is the domain?

Find

f x
g(x)

Lets Try Some


Let f x 6 x 2 7x - 5 and g x 2 x 1.
Find f x g ( x)

What is the domain?

Find

f x
g(x)

Review
Multiply

and divide the functions f(x) =


2x2 + x 3 and g(x) = x - 1

Composite Function When you


combine two or more functions
The

composition of
function g with
function is written as

g f x g f x
1

1. Evaluate the inner function f(x) first.


2. Then use your answer as the input of
the outer function g(x).

Example Composition of
Functions

Let f x x 2 and g x x 2 . Find g f 5


Method 1:

g f x g f x

Method 2
Let f x x 2 and g x x 2 . Find g f 5
g(f(-5))

Lets try some


Let f x x - 4 and g x x 2 . Find g f 3
