SUM PRODUCT OPERATIONS WITH FUNCTIONS ƒ+8=(ƒ+8)(x)= f(x)+g(x) DIFFERENCE_ƒ-8=(ƒ-8)(x)=_f(x)-g(x) ƒ•g=(ƒ•g)(x) = f(x) •g(x) Operations with F

Page 2: Introduction to Function Composition

This section explores the concept of function composition and its notation methods.

Definition: Function composition is the application of one function to the results of another, written as f∘gf∘gxx or fg(xg(x).

Vocabulary: "f∘g" is read as "f of g" or "g into f"

Example: For fxx=3x+2 and gxx=2x-1, the composition f∘gf∘gxx=6x-1

The page emphasizes:

  • Different notation methods for composition
  • Step-by-step process of composing functions
  • Importance of understanding input and output relationships
SUM PRODUCT OPERATIONS WITH FUNCTIONS ƒ+8=(ƒ+8)(x)= f(x)+g(x) DIFFERENCE_ƒ-8=(ƒ-8)(x)=_f(x)-g(x) ƒ•g=(ƒ•g)(x) = f(x) •g(x) Operations with F

View

Page 3: Evaluating Function Composition

This page details the process of evaluating function composition with specific values.

Highlight: To find f∘gf∘gvaluevalue, first calculate gvaluevalue, then use that result as input for f.

Example: For fxx=x²+4 and gxx=2x, to find f∘gf∘g22:

  1. Calculate g22=4
  2. Then calculate f44=20

The page covers:

  • Composition with numerical values
  • Composition with variables
  • Multiple examples of both types
SUM PRODUCT OPERATIONS WITH FUNCTIONS ƒ+8=(ƒ+8)(x)= f(x)+g(x) DIFFERENCE_ƒ-8=(ƒ-8)(x)=_f(x)-g(x) ƒ•g=(ƒ•g)(x) = f(x) •g(x) Operations with F

View

Page 4: Properties of Function Composition

This section explores important properties and characteristics of function composition.

Quote: "In most cases f∘gf∘gxx≠g∘fg∘fxx therefore composition of functions is not commutative."

Example: Using ordered pairs and graphs to demonstrate composition: For f={2,32,3,−1,1-1,1,0,00,0} and g={−3,1-3,1,−1,−2-1,-2,0,20,2}, find f∘gf∘g00

The page includes:

  • Visual representations of function composition
  • Working with ordered pairs
  • Non-commutative property demonstration
SUM PRODUCT OPERATIONS WITH FUNCTIONS ƒ+8=(ƒ+8)(x)= f(x)+g(x) DIFFERENCE_ƒ-8=(ƒ-8)(x)=_f(x)-g(x) ƒ•g=(ƒ•g)(x) = f(x) •g(x) Operations with F

View

Page 5: Advanced Operations and Compositions

This page presents more complex operations and compositions with various function types.

Highlight: When finding composite functions, always state necessary restrictions in the domain.

Example: For fxx=2x+5 and gxx=x²-1: f∘gf∘gxx=2x2−1x²-1+5=2x²-2+5=2x²+3

The content covers:

  • Multiple function operations
  • Complex compositions
  • Domain restrictions
  • Practical applications
SUM PRODUCT OPERATIONS WITH FUNCTIONS ƒ+8=(ƒ+8)(x)= f(x)+g(x) DIFFERENCE_ƒ-8=(ƒ-8)(x)=_f(x)-g(x) ƒ•g=(ƒ•g)(x) = f(x) •g(x) Operations with F

View

Page 6: Practice Problems and Applications

The final page provides additional practice problems and real-world applications.

Example: Given fxx=4x-1, jxx=x²-6x, kxx=-x+4: f+jf+jxx=x²-2x-1

Highlight: Pay special attention to restrictions when working with composite functions.

The page includes:

  • Comprehensive practice problems
  • Multiple-step compositions
  • Domain restriction analysis
  • Complex function operations

Page 1: Basic Operations with Functions

This page introduces fundamental operations with functions, focusing on sum, product, difference, and quotient operations.

Definition: Operations with functions involve combining two functions using basic mathematical operations to create new functions.

Example: For functions fxx=4x²+6x-9 and gxx=6x²-x+2, the sum f+gf+gxx = 10x²+5x-7

Highlight: When performing division of functions, always remember to state the restriction gxx≠0.

The page demonstrates several key operations:

  • Addition and subtraction of polynomial functions
  • Multiplication of functions
  • Division with attention to restrictions

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Anna

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
