A. Function from A to B is a mapping where each of A is mapped onto exactly one element of B

3. Operation of Function

a) Addition (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)

 𝑓(𝑥) = √3 − 5𝑥

𝑔(𝑥) = √2𝑥 + 3

ℎ(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥) = √3 − 5𝑥 + √2𝑥 + 3

For all of these operations, we find the intersecting domain of 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥).

B. Composite Function (p.93)

1. Concept

2. Notation
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓[𝑔(𝑥)]

(𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥) = 𝑔[𝑓(𝑥)]
Example 1 (Problem solving no. 1):

𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 5

𝑔(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 4
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓[𝑔(𝑥)] = 𝑓(𝑔) = 2𝑔 − 5 = 2(3𝑥 + 4) − 5 = 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟑
(𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥) = 𝑔[𝑓(𝑥)] = 𝑔(𝑓) = 3𝑓 + 4 = 3(2𝑥 − 5) + 4 = 𝟔𝒙 − 𝟏𝟏

(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) ≠ (𝑔 ∘ 𝑓)(𝑥) non-commutative
