1.7 Combination of Functions
Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide functions
Understanding combination functions
Sum and Difference
Let f(x) = 2x + 5
and g(x) = x2-3
Sum f(x) + g(x) = 2x + 5 + x2-3
thus (f + g)(x) = x2 + 2x + 2
Difference
(f - g)(x) = 2x + 5 – (x2 – 3)
= -x 2 + 2x + 8
Product and Quotient
Let f(x) = 2x + 5
Product
Quotient
and g(x) = x2-3
f(x)g(x) so (fg)(x) = (2x + 5)(x2 – 3)
= 2x3 + 5x2 – 6x – 15
g(x)≠0
So what is the domain of the Quotient
function?
So what is the domain of the Quotient
function?
All reals that does not make the denominator zero.
What about a square root?
Let
The Domain of
The Domain of
and
is [0, ∞)
[ - 5, 5 ]
Domain is [0, 5) ; Why?
The zero comes from
can not have negative
numbers,
but
must have numbers less then 5.
Since it is in the denominator g(x) can not be zero.
How would the Domain change if
The Domain would be (0, 5]
What cause the difference?
Composition of Function
Composition of function is where the range of one function
become the domain of the other function.
Let f(x) = x3 + 1
and g(x)= x + 4
Old way of written a composition was f(g(x))
New way
(f∘g)(x) = (x+4)3 + 1
(g∘f)(x) = (x3+1)+4
(f∘g)(x) = (x+4)3 + 1
(x + 4)3
= (x + 4)(x + 4)(x + 4)
=(x2 + 8x + 16)(x + 4)
=(x3 + 8x2 + 16x)+(4x2 + 32x + 64)
= x3 + 12x2 + 48x + 64
(f∘g)(x) = x3 + 12x2 + 48x + 64 + 1
= x3 + 12x2 + 48x + 65
Let f(x)= x2 + 8 and
Domain of f(x) is ( - ∞,∞)
Domain of g(x) is [- 4, 4]
So the Domain would domain in which both
equations work. [ -4, 4]
Why use Composition functions?
To break functions into smaller easier to handle parts.
h(x)= (f∘g)(x)
Into 2 equations f(x) = 1/x and g(x) =(x+ 3)2
or f(x) = (x + 3)-2 and g(x) = (x + 3)
