Operations on Functions
Sum
Inverse Function
𝑦 = (𝑓 + 𝑔) 𝑥
-The inverse is usually shown by putting a little "-1"
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)
after the function name, like this: 𝒇−𝟏(𝒙)
Difference
𝑦 = (𝑓 − 𝑔)𝑥
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥) Find the inverse function of f(x)=3x+2.
f (x)=3x+2
Product
y = 3x + 2 Let f(x) =y
𝑦 = (𝑓𝑔)(𝑥)
y - 2 = 3x Transpose the constant to the left side
𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)𝑔(𝑥) Quotient
Divide both sides by 3

So if
Since the choice of the variable is arbitrary, we can
write this as:
Composite Functions
(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) 𝑜𝑟𝑓[𝑔(𝑥)]
(𝑔 ∙ 𝑓)(𝑥) 𝑜𝑟 𝑔[𝑓(𝑥)]
Rational Functions
- is defined as the quotient of polynomials in which
Evaluation of Functions the denominator has a degree of at least 1.
To evaluate the output for “f(x)”you just need to
substitute the given value to “(x)”.

Example. Example.
Given 𝑓 (𝑥) = 6 − 𝑥2. Find 𝑓(1)and 𝑓(−2)
Solution
The domain of this function includes all values of x,
1. 𝑓(1) = 6 − 12
except where 𝑥2 − 4 = 0
𝑓(1) = 6 − 1
𝑓(1) = 5 We can factor the denominator to find the
singularities of the function:𝑥2 − 4=(x-2) (x+2)
2. 𝑓(−2) = 6 − (−2)2 𝑓(−2) = 6
−4 Setting each linear factor equal to zero, we have 𝑥
𝑓(−2) = 2 − 2 = 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 + 2 = 0. .

Solving each of these yields solutions𝑥 = 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑


𝑥 = −2 ; thus, the domain includes all 𝑥 not equal to
2 or -2.
