    This document discusses combining and composing functions. It defines how to add, subtract, multiply and divide two functions and states that the domain of the combined function is the intersection of the domains of the original functions. An example is provided to illustrate finding the combinations of two sample functions and their domains. The document also introduces decomposing one function into two functions.

    (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)
    (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)
    (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)
    (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x),g(x)0
