3. Abstraction

Definition. Let f and g be functions.

1. Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function denoted by (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x).

2. Their difference, denoted by f – g, is the function denoted by (f – g) (x) = f(x) –
g(x).
3. Their product, denoted by (f · g) (x) = f(x) · g(x).
4. Their quotient, denoted by f/g, is the function denoted by (f/g) (x) = f(x) / g(x),
excluding the values of x where g(x) = 0.

Use the following functions below for Example 1.

 f(x) = x + 3
 p(x) = 2x – 7
 v(x) = x² + 5x + 4
 g(x) = x² + 2x – 8
x+7
 h(x) =
2−x
x−2
 t(x) =
x+3

Example 1. Determine the following functions.

a. (v + g) (x)
b. (f * p) (x)
c. (f + h) (x)
d. (p – f) (x)
e. (v/g) (x)

Solution.

(a) (v + g) (x) = ( x 2+ 5 x + 4) + ( x 2+ 2 x−8)

= x 2+ 5 x + 4+ x 2 +2 x−8
= 2 x2 +7 x−4
(b) (f * p) (x) = ( x +3 ) ( 2 x−7 )=2 x2 −x−21
x +7 ( x+ 3 )∗2−x x+7 ( x +3 ) ( 2−x ) ( x+7 )
(c) ( f + h ) ( x ) =( x+3 )+= + =
2−x 2−x 2−x 2−x
6−x −x ²+ x +7 13−x ² x ²−13
= = =
2−x 2−x x−2
(d) (p – f)(x) = (2x -7) – (x+3) = 2x- 7 – x – 3 = x- 10

4. Application
I. Determine whether or not each statement is True or False. Explain your
answer.
1. If f(x) = x – 3 and g(x) = x + 4, then (f- g)(x) = - 7.

2. If f(x) = x + 6 and g(x) = 3x, then ( fg ) ( 3 )=1.

3. If f(x) = 4x- 12 and g(x) = x – 3, then (f + g)(2) = - 5.
4. If f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) = 4x, then (f * g)(2) = 40.
5. If f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = 4x – 1, then (f – g) ( - 3) = 6
6. The functions (f ○ g) and f * g are always the same.
7. If f(x) = √ x∧g ( x ) =x−4 ,then g ( f ( x ) )=f ( g ( x ) ) for every x .

II. Let f ( x )=3 x 2−2 x−1 , g ( x )=x 2−1 ,∧h ( x )=f ( x )+ g ( x ) . Find :
a. (f – g)(x)
b. f( - 1) * g(2) * h(0)
g(x)
c.
f ( x)
d. h( x – 1)
e. f(3) + g(2)

.
IV. Assignment
I. Find f + g, f – g, f * g, and f/g. determine the domain of each function.
1. f(x) = 3x + 4, g(x) = 2x – 1
2. f(x) = x – 1, g(x) = 2x² + x – 3
x−1 1
3. f(x) = , g (x )=

4. f(x) = √ x+ 3 , g ( x )=√ x−1
II. Research: Crickets have an edge over mercury thermometers in what
aspect?
