Directions: Study each solved problem (found on the left). Use them for guidance. REMEMBER: DO
NOT skip through the solved problems. Use them to think about the steps in adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing functions.

1. Give: f ( x )=x +2
Solution: ( hg ) ( x )= 4xx
¿4
g ( x )=4 x
h ( x )=x
Find: ( f + g)( x) Your turn,

1. Give: f ( x )=x−4
Solution: ( f + g )( x )= ( x +2 ) +(4 x )
g ( x )=6 x
¿ x+ 2+ 4 x
h ( x )=2 x
¿ 5 x+ 2
Find: ( f + g)( x)
2. Give: f ( x )=x +2
g ( x )=4 x
h ( x )=x
Find: ( g−f )( x)

2. Give: f ( x )=x−4
Solution: ( g−f ) ( x )=( 4 x ) −(x +2)
g ( x )=6 x
¿ 4 x−x−2
h ( x )=2 x
¿ 3 x−2
Find: ( g−f )(x)

3. Give: f ( x )=x +2
g ( x )=4 x
h ( x )=x
Find: ( f ∙ h)( x)
3. Give: f ( x )=x−4
Solution: ( f ∙ h ) ( x )=( x+ 2 ) (x)
g ( x )=6 x
¿ x 2+ 2 x h ( x )=2 x
Find: ( f ∙ h)( x)

4. Give: f ( x )=x +2
g ( x )=4 x
h ( x )=x
g
Find: ( )(x)
h 4. Give: f ( x )=x−4
g ( x )=6 x
h ( x )=2 x
