Description: The task in
this activity is to
add and subtract
algebraic
expression.

1. Facebook: (2x + 4) + ( x + 1) = 2x + x + 4 + 1 = 3x + 5
2. Twitter: (-2x + 4) + ( x + (-1)) = -2x + x + 4 + (-1) = -x + 3
3. Instagram: 1/x + 1/x = 1+1/x = 2/x
4. Youtube: (x2 + 3x +1) + ( x3 + 2x + 1)= x3 + x2 + 3x + 2x + 1 + 1= x3 + x2 + 5x + 2
5. All of these: (1/ x2 + 2x + 1) – (2/ (x + 1)2) = - 1/(x + 1)2

C. Discussion

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)

Examples: Use the following functions below for example.

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

Examples: Determine the following functions.

1. ( v + g)(x)
2. ( f + p)(x)
3. ( p – f)(x)

Solutions:
1. ( v + g)(x) = ( x2 + 5x + 4) + (x2 + 2x – 8) = x2 + x2 + 5x + 2x + 4 + (-8)=
2x 2 + 7x – 4
2. ( f + p )(x)= ( x + 3 ) + (2x – 7)= x + 2x + 3 + (-7) = 3x – 4
3. ( p – f)(x) = (2x – 7) – ( x + 3) = 2x – x – 7 – 3 = x – 10

Addition and Subtraction:

(a) Find the least common denominator (LCD) of both fractions.
(b) Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions with the same LCD.
 (c) The LCD is the denominator of the resulting fraction.
(d) The sum or difference of the numerators is the numerator of the resulting fraction.

D. Analysis
1. What is function?
2. How to add and subtract function?
3. Why we study this topic? Is this important to our country?

E. Abstraction

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)

Let f and g be defined as f(x) = x – 5 and g(x) = x2 – 1. Find

1. ( f + g)(x) Facebook
2. ( f – g)(x) Twitter
3. ( g + f)(x) Instagram
4. ( g – f)(x) Youtube

Solution:
1. (f + g)(x)= ( x – 5) + ( x2 – 1) = x + x2 + (-5) + (-1) = x2 + x – 6
2. (f – g)(x)= ( x – 5) - ( x2 – 1) = ( x – 5) + ( -x2 + 1) = x + (-x2) + (-5) + 1= -x2+ x – 4
3. (g + f)(x)= ( x2 – 1) + ( x – 5) = x2 + x + (-1) + (-5) = x2 + x – 6
4. (g – f)(x)= ( x2 – 1) - ( x – 5) = ( x2 – 1) + ( -x + 5)= x2 – x + (-1) +5 = x2 – x + 4

IV – Evaluation
Let f and g be defined as f(x) = 2x / x + 1 and g(x)= 3x / x – 1. Find
1. ( f + g )(x)
2. ( f – g )(x)
