What is function addition and how is it represented mathematically?

Back

Function addition is the operation of adding two functions together. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, their sum is represented as (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).

How do you find the sum of two polynomial functions?

Back

To find the sum of two polynomial functions, combine like terms. For example, if f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c and g(x) = dx^2 + ex + f, then (f+g)(x) = (a+d)x^2 + (b+e)x + (c+f).

What is function subtraction and how is it represented mathematically?

Back

Function subtraction is the operation of subtracting one function from another. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, their difference is represented as (f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x).

How do you find the difference of two polynomial functions?

Back

To find the difference of two polynomial functions, subtract the coefficients of like terms. For example, if f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c and g(x) = dx^2 + ex + f, then (f-g)(x) = (a-d)x^2 + (b-e)x + (c-f).

What is function multiplication and how is it represented mathematically?

Back

Function multiplication is the operation of multiplying two functions together. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, their product is represented as (f*g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).

How do you find the product of two polynomial functions?

Back

To find the product of two polynomial functions, use the distributive property (FOIL for binomials) to multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial.

What is function division and how is it represented mathematically?

Back

Function division is the operation of dividing one function by another. If f(x) and g(x) are two functions, their quotient is represented as (f/g)(x) = f(x) / g(x), provided g(x) ≠ 0.

How do you find the quotient of two polynomial functions?

Back

To find the quotient of two polynomial functions, perform polynomial long division or synthetic division, depending on the degree of the polynomials.

What are like terms in polynomial functions?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x^2 and 5x^2 are like terms, while 3x^2 and 4x are not.
