LEARNING ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Week Covered: First Week

Learning Competency:

a. Operation on functions

Objectives:
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. define operations on functions
2. identify the different operations on functions.
3. perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and
composition of functions
Materials

activity notebook, pen or pencil

Content Background:

In this module, the different operations on functions were discussed.

Examples were provided for you to be able to learn the five (5) operations: addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions. Aside from
algebraic solutions, these examples were illustrated, represented in tables and/or
mapping diagram for better understanding of the concepts. Activities were provided
to enhance your learning. Finally, your task is to answer a guided real-world example
that involves operations on functions

LESSON 1:

Operation on Functions

Operations on functions are similar to operations on numbers. Adding, subtracting

and multiplying two or more functions together will result in another function.
Dividing two functions together will also result in another function if the denominator
or divisor is not the zero function. Lastly, composintwo or more functions will also

4
produce another function.

Composition Functions:

In composition of functions, we will have a lot of substitutions. You learned in

previous lesson that to evaluate a function, you will just substitute a certain number
in all of the variables in the given function. Similarly, if a function is substituted

5
to all variables in another function, you are performing a composition of
functions to create another function. Some authors call this operation as
“function of functions”.

Example 2.

Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2+ 5𝑥 + 6, and ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2

Find the following:

a. (𝑓 ∘ ℎ) (𝑥)

b. (𝑓 ∘ ℎ) (4)

c. (ℎ ∘ 𝑓) (𝑥)

b. (𝑓 ∘ ℎ) (4) = 𝑓(ℎ (4))

Step 1. Evaluate ℎ(4) Step 2. Evaluate 𝑓(6)

ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 5𝑥 + 6

6
ℎ(4) = 4 + 2 = 6 = 62 + 5(6) + 6

= 36 + 30 + 6

= 72

(𝑓 ∘ ℎ) (4) = 𝑓 (ℎ ((4))

= 𝑓 (6)

∴ = 72
