OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS
Given two functions 𝑓 and 𝑔, then:
Sum of 𝑓 and 𝑔: (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑔(𝑥 )
Difference of 𝑓 and 𝑔: (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥 ) − 𝑔(𝑥)

Product of 𝑓 and 𝑔: (𝑓 • 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) • 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑓 𝑓(𝑥)
Quotient of 𝑓 and 𝑔: ቀ ቁ (𝑥 ) = , where 𝑔(𝑥) ≠ 0
𝑔 𝑔(𝑥)
Each of the four operations is defined for all 𝑥 in the domains of both 𝑓 and 𝑔, with
the exception that in quotient, we exclude the values of 𝑥 for which 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 0.
Example 1.
Given the two functions, 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 1 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − 𝑥. Compute 𝑓(𝑥 ) + 𝑔(𝑥), 𝑓 (𝑥 ) −
𝑓(𝑥)
𝑔(𝑥), 𝑓(𝑥) • 𝑔(𝑥) and . Determine the domain of each operation.
𝑔(𝑥)
Solution:
a. 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥 ) = (𝑥 2 − 1) + (𝑥 2 − 𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 − 𝑥 − 1, D: {𝑥: 𝑥 ∈ ℝ}
b. 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥 ) = (𝑥 2 − 1) − (𝑥 2 − 𝑥) = −1 + 𝑥, D: {𝑥: 𝑥 ∈ ℝ}
c. 𝑓(𝑥 ) • 𝑔(𝑥 ) = (𝑥 2 − 1)(𝑥 2 − 𝑥 ) = 𝑥 4 − 𝑥 3 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑥, D: {𝑥: 𝑥 ∈ ℝ}
𝑓(𝑥) 𝑥 2 −1 (𝑥−1)(𝑥+1) 𝑥+ 1
d. = = = D: {𝑥: 𝑥 ∈ ℝ, 𝑥 ≠ 0, 1}
𝑔(𝑥) 𝑥 2 −𝑥 𝑥(𝑥−1) 𝑥
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times.

THE COMPOSITE OF FUNCTIONS
The composite of 𝑓 and 𝑔, denoted by 𝑓 ∘ 𝑔, is defined by two conditions:
1. (𝒇 ∘ 𝒈)(𝒙) = 𝒇(𝒈(𝒙)), which is read as “𝒇 circle 𝒈 of 𝒙 equals 𝒇 of 𝒈 of 𝒙”.
2. 𝒙 is in the domain of 𝒈 and 𝒈(𝒙) is in the domain of 𝒇.
𝑔 𝑓
𝑥 𝑔(𝑥) 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥))
𝑓∘𝑔
The domain of 𝑓 ∘ 𝑔 is the set of x satisfying condition (2). The operation that
combines 𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔 to produce their composite is called function composition
Example 2.
Given 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 4 and 𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑥 − 2, evaluate the following.
a. 𝑓(−1) b. 𝑔(4) c. 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥) d. 𝑔(𝑔(2) e. (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(2)
Solution:
a. 𝑓(−1) = (−1)2 + 3(−1) − 4 = 6
b. 𝑔(4) = 4 − 2 = 2
c. 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥 − 2)
= (𝑥 − 2)2 + 3(𝑥 − 2) − 4
= 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 4 + 3𝑥 − 6 − 4
= 𝑥2 − 𝑥 − 6
d. 𝑔(𝑔(2) = 𝑔(2 − 2)
= 𝑔(0)
= 0 − 2 = −2
e. (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(2) = 𝑓 [𝑔(2)]
= 𝑓 [ 2 − 2]
= 𝑓 [ 0]
= 0 2 + 3(0) − 4
= −4
Example 3.
Given the functions, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 2𝑥 − 1, 𝑔(𝑥 ) = √2𝑥 + 1, ℎ (𝑥 ) = ⌊ 𝑥 ⌋ + 1

a. Find and simplify (𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥 ).
b. Find and simplify (ℎ ∘ 𝑔)(10)
c. Find and simplify ℎ(2.1)[𝑓(3) + 𝑔(4)]
Solution:
a. (𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥 ) = 𝑔(𝑓 (𝑥)) = √2𝑥 − 1 + 1 = √2𝑥
b. (ℎ ∘ 𝑔)(12) = ℎ(𝑔(10))
= ⌊𝑔(10)⌋ + 1
= ⌊√2(10) + 1⌋ + 1
= ⌊√21⌋ + 1
=4+1
=5
c. ℎ(2.1)[𝑓(3) + 𝑔(4)] = [⌊2.1⌋ + 1][(2(3) − 1) + √2(4) + 1]

= [2 + 1][ 5 + 3]
