Operations On Functions

Operations on functions can be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided. Addition is defined as (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x). Subtraction is defined as (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x). Multiplication is defined as (f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x). Division is defined as (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x) where g(x) ≠ 0.

OPERATIONS ON

FUNCTIONS
Lesson 1.3
Addition of Polynomials
Definition:
Let f and g be function
 their sum, denoted as f+g ,
is defined as:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)


Addition of Polynomials
To add two polynomials,
write the sum and
simplify by combining
like terms
Example
 3x-4 and 7x-8
• (3x+4)+ (7x-8)= (3x-7x)+ (4-8)
= (3+7)x + (-4) = 10x-4
 Let v(x) = x2 + 5x + 4 and g(x) = x2 +
2x − 8
• (v + g)(x) =(x2 + 5x + 4)+(x2 + 2x
− 8)
= 2x2 + 7x − 4
SUBRACTION of
Polynomials
Definition:
Let f and g be function
 their difference, denoted as
f-g , is defined as:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)


Subraction of Polynomials
To subtract two
polynomials, write the
difference and simplify
by combining like terms
Example
 7x+2 from 5x+4
• (5x+4)-(7x+2)=(5x+4)-(7x+2)
= (5x+7x)-(4+2)
= -2x+2

 Let p(x) = 2x- 7 and f(x) = x + 3


• (p - f)(x) =(2x- 7)-(x + 3)
= 2x − 7 − x −3
= x − 10
MULTIPLICATION of
Polynomials
Definition:
Let f and g be function
 their product, denoted as f·g
, is defined as:

(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)


MULTIPLICATION of
Polynomials
 Laws of exponents
let n and m be powers
1. Product Rule for exponents:
aman=am+n
2. Power Rule for exponents:
(am)n=amn
3. Power of a product rule:
(ab)m=ambm
MULTIPLICATION of
Polynomials
 To multiply a polynomial by a
monomial, multiply each term of the
polynomial by the monomial
 The FOIL method: First, Outer,
Inner, Last
Example
 (x2y4) (x4y2)= (x2+y4) (x2+y4)
= x 6y 6
 5x (x+4)= 5x (x) +5x (4)
= 5x2 +20x
 (x+3) (x-5) = x2+5x+3x+15
= x2+8x+15
Division of Polynomials
Definition:
Let f and g be function
 their quotient, denoted as
f/g , is defined as:
(f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x)
Where g(x) ≠ 0
Example
 x2+4 and √x
= x2+4 / √x
 8-x3and x-3
= 8-x3/x-3
SUMMARY
Let f and g be any two functions
 Addition (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

 Subtraction (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

 Multiplication (f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)

 Division (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x)
