Evaluation and Operations on
Functions
 Lesson Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. evaluate a function;
2. performs addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, and composition of functions; and
3. solves problems involving functions.
 Evaluating a function is the process of
determining the value of the function at the
number assigned to a given variable.

To denote that we are evaluating f at a

for some a in the domain of f, we write
f(a).
Example 1. Given f(x) = 2x - 4,
find the value of the function if x = 3.

Solution: f(x) = 2x-4

f(3) = 2(3)-4
f(3) = 6-4
f(3) = 2
Example 2. Given q(x) = x2 + 2x + 2,
find q(-3).

Solution: q(x) = x2 + 2x + 2
q(-3) = (-3)2 + 2(-3) + 2
q(-3) = 9 - 6 + 2
q(-3) = 5
Example 3. Given f(x) = Lx⅃ + 1,
find f(3.5).
Solution: f(x) = Lx⅃ + 1
f(3.5) = L3.5⅃ + 1
f(3.5) = 3 + 1
f(3.5) = 4
Example 4. Given f(x) = 5x + 1,
find f(h+1).
Solution: f(x) = 5x + 1
f(h+1)= 5(h+1) + 1
f(h+1)= 5h+5+ 1
f(h+1) = 5h + 6
Example 5. Evaluate the function
q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2 at q(2x - 3).

Solution: q(x) = x2 – 2x + 2
q(2x - 3) = (2x - 3) 2 – 2 (2x - 3) + 2
q(2x - 3) = (4x2 -12x + 9) – 4x + 6 + 2
q(2x - 3) = 4x2 -16x +17
Operations on
Functions
Definition: Let f and g be functions.
a. Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function defined by
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x).
b. Their difference, denoted by f – g, is the function defined by
(f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x).
c. Their product, denoted by f ⋅ g, is the function defined by
(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x).
d. Their quotient, denoted by f/g, is the function defined by
(f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x), excluding the values of x where g(x) = 0.
e. The composite function denoted by (f ∘ g)(x) = f (g(x)). The process of
obtaining a composite function is called function composition.

Practical Applications:
1. Mark started selling snacks in the nearby school. In
one day he spends ₱350 for rent and ₱25 for each snack
item he prepares. His expenses in a single day can be
expressed as the function C(x)=25x+350, where x is the
number of items and C(x) is his daily expenses in pesos.
How much are his expenses if he prepares:
a. 100 snack items?
b. 250 snack items?
