LESSON PLAN IN GENERAL MATHEMATICS

GRADE: 11 QUARTER: 1 WEEK: 1 DAY: 3

COMPETENCY & Performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and composition of
:
OBJECTIVES functions. (M11GM-Ia-3)
CONTENT : Operations on Functions
LEARNING SLM Module 1
RESOURCES : GM LM pages 13-20
GM TG pages 14-22
PROCEDURE : A. Preparation
Recall. Perform the following operations and then simplify.
a. -5 + 7
b. (3x) + (-12x)
c. 2x (5x – 1)
d. (3x+5) – (x+1)
e. (2x+3) (x – 4)
𝑥 2 −1
f. 2𝑥+2

B. Motivation
How did you perform in the activity?
Your knowledge on the four fundamental operations is necessary in today’s
lesson because functions like numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied
and divided.
Now, consider inputting the letters A and B into this function machine (a)
and then whatever outputs you get use these as your input into machine
(b).

What outputs do you get? The process you just did is called composition,
the fifth operation that you can perform on functions.
C. Presentation
Present the learning objectives.

D. Discussion/Abstraction
Let f and g be any two functions.
● Their 𝑠𝑢𝑚 denoted by 𝑓 + 𝑔, is defined as (𝑓 +
𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥).
● Their 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 denoted by 𝑓 − 𝑔, is defined as
 (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥).
● Their 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡 denoted by 𝑓 ∙ 𝑔, is defined as (𝑓 ∙
𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥).
𝑓 𝑓
● Their 𝑞𝑢𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 denoted by 𝑔 , is defined as (𝑔) (𝑥) =
𝑓(𝑥)
𝑔(𝑥)
, 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑔(𝑥) ≠ 0.
● The 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 of 𝑓 and 𝑔 denoted by (𝑓 ∘
𝑔)(𝑥), is defined
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥))

The process of obtaining the composite function is called

function composition.
EXAMPLE 1: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 8 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 3. Find (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥).
SOLUTION: (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)
(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = (2𝑥 + 8) + (𝑥 − 3)
∴ (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 5

EXAMPLE 2: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 8 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 3. Find (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥).

SOLUTION: (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)
(𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = (2𝑥 + 8) − (𝑥 − 3)
(𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = (2𝑥 + 8) + (−𝑥 + 3)
∴ (𝑓 − 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 11
EXAMPLE 3: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 3 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 1. Find (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥).
SOLUTION: (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥)
(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 2 + 1)
(𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 − 3𝑥 2 − 3
∴ (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 + 𝑥 − 3

2𝑥+1 3𝑥 𝑓
EXAMPLE 4: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥−2
and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥−2. Find (𝑔) (𝑥).
𝑓 𝑓(𝑥)
SOLUTION: (𝑔) (𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑓 2𝑥 + 1 3𝑥
( ) (𝑥) = ( )÷( )
𝑔 𝑥−2 𝑥−2
𝑓 2𝑥 + 1 𝑥 − 2
( ) (𝑥) = ( )( )
𝑔 𝑥−2 3𝑥
𝑓 2𝑥 + 1
∴ ( ) (𝑥) =
𝑔 3𝑥
EXAMPLE 9: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 5 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 7, find (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥).
SOLUTION: (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥))
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑓(2𝑥 + 7)
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 3(2𝑥 + 7) + 5
(𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 6𝑥 + 21 + 5
∴ (𝑓 ∘ 𝑔)(𝑥) = 6𝑥 + 26
