Answer:

Like terms, functions may be combined by addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Example 1. Given f ( x ) = 2x + 1 and g ( x ) = x2

+ 2x – 1 find ( f + g ) ( x ) and

( f + g ) ( 2 )

Solution

Step 1. Find ( f + g ) ( x )

Since ( f + g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) + g ( x ) then;

( f + g ) ( x ) = ( 2x + 1 ) + (x2

+ 2x – 1 )

= 2x + 1 + x2

+ 2x – 1

= x

2

+ 4x

Step 2. Find ( f + g ) ( 2 )

To find the solution for ( f + g ) ( 2 ), evaluate the solution above for 2.

Since ( f + g ) ( x ) = x2

+ 4x then;

( f + g ) ( 2 ) = 22

+ 4(2)

= 4 + 8

= 12

Example 2. Given f ( x ) = 2x – 5 and g ( x ) = 1 – x find ( f – g ) ( x ) and ( f – g ) ( 2 ).

Solution

Step 1. Find ( f – g ) ( x ).

( f – g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) – g ( x )

= ( 2x – 5 ) – ( 1 – x )

= 2x – 5 – 1 + x

= 3x – 6

Step 2. Find ( f – g ) ( 2 ).

( f – g ) ( x ) = 3x – 6

( f – g ) ( 2 ) = 3 (2) – 6

= 6 – 6

= 0

Example 3. Given f ( x ) = x2

+ 1 and g ( x ) = x – 4 , find ( f g ) ( x ) and ( f g ) ( 3 ).

Solution

Step 1. Solve for ( f g ) ( x ).

Since ( f g ) ( x ) = f ( x ) * g ( x ) , then

= (x2

+ 1 ) ( x – 4 )

= x

3

– 4 x2

+ x – 4 .

Step 2. Find ( f g ) ( 3 ).

Since ( f g ) ( x ) = x3

– 4 x2

+ x – 4, then

( f g ) ( 3 ) = (3)3

– 4 (3)2

+ (3) – 4

= 27 – 36 + 3 – 4

= -10

Example 4. Given f ( x ) = x + 1 and g ( x ) = x – 1 , find ( x ) and ( 3 ). f
