Front

Define the operation of addition on functions.

Back

How do you find the product of two functions?

Back

The product of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined as (f ⋅ g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).

Front

What is the quotient of two functions?

Back

The quotient of two functions f(x) and g(x) is defined as (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x), provided g(x) ≠ 0.

Front

Given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x - 1, find (f + g)(2).

Back

(f + g)(2) = (2(2) + 3) + ((2) - 1) = 7 + 1 = 8.

Front

If f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 3x, find (f - g)(1).

Back

(f - g)(1) = (1^2) - (3(1)) = 1 - 3 = -2.

Front

What is the result of (f ⋅ g)(x) if f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = x^2?

Back

(f ⋅ g)(x) = (x + 2)(x^2) = x^3 + 2x^2.

Front

Calculate (f/g)(-2) for f(x) = x^2 + 1 and g(x) = x + 3.

Back

(f/g)(-2) = ((-2)^2 + 1) / ((-2) + 3) = 5 / 1 = 5.

Define the composition of functions.

Back

The composition of two functions f and g is defined as (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)).

Front

If f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 2x + 1, find (f ∘ g)(1).

Back

(f ∘ g)(1) = f(g(1)) = f(2(1) + 1) = f(3) = 3^2 = 9.
