Let f and g be two functions. The sum, the
difference, the product , and the quotient are
functions whose domains are the set of all real
numbers common to the domains of f and g,
defined as follows:
Sum: (f + g)(x) = f (x)+g(x)
Difference: (f g)(x) = f (x) g(x)
Product: (f g)(x) = f (x) g(x)
Quotient: (f / g)(x) = f (x)/g(x), g(x) 0
Let f(x) = 2x+1 and g(x) = x

The composition of the function f with g is
denoted by f o g and is defined by the equation
(f o g)(x) = f (g(x)).
The domain of the composite function f o g is
the set of all x such that x is in the domain of g
and g(x) is in the domain of f.

If f is a function, then the graph of f is the set of all points
(x,y) in the Cartesian plane for which (x,y) is an ordered
pair in f.
The graph of a function can be intersected by a vertical
line in at most one point.
Vertical Line Test
o If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, then the
graph is not the graph of a function.
Determine if the graph is a graph of a function or just a
graph of a relation.
