1-3 Function Operations and Composition

f(x) = 4x + 7 and g(x) = 12 + x

addition: 4x + 7

subtraction: 4x + 7

12 + x

- (12 + x) **distribute!!

f(x) + x2 - 9

and g(x) = x + 3

multiply:
(x2 - 9)(x + 3) =

divide:
x2 - 9
x+3

(f g)(x)
f(g(x))

this both mean "f" of "g" of "x",

meaning plug "g" into the "x" of
the "f" function.

In laymen's terms, cram the "g" function

into the "f" function.
f(x) = 4x + 7 and g(x) = 12 + x
Try (f g)(x)

Try (g f)(x)

Find the inverse of the function:

f(x) = x2 - 2

g(x) = 3x + 9

*Now look back at the parent functions to which

are inverses...
