10.1 – Sums and Differences of Functions

We can form new functions by performing operations with functions. To combine two functions, 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥), add or subtract as follows: Sum of Functions Difference of Functions 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥) 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥) (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) Example 1

Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 1 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 3. a) Write an equation to represent 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥) Domain:____________________ b) Write an equation to represent 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)

10.3 - Composite Functions

Composite Functions:

- Are functions that are formed from two functions, 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) , in which the output (or result) of one of the functions is used as the input for the other function.

- The composition of 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) is defined as ______________ and is formed

when the equation of 𝑔(𝑥) is substituted into the equation of 𝑓(𝑥).

- ______________ is read as _____________________________.

- We can write composite function as _______________ or _______________.

- Composite functions must not be confused with multiplication. That is (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) is not the same as (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥).

Example 1

Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 1 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 3

a) Determine the equation for 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥))

𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)) 𝑔(𝑓(𝑥))

Recall: When 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)) = 𝑥 or 𝑔(𝑓(𝑥)) = 𝑥, this means that 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) are

__________________ of each other.
