ODD AND EVEN FUNCTIONS
A function is even if
A function is odd if

An even function is symmetrical to y-axis

Examples:

Let x=-x

Therefore, the function is even.

Examples:
2.

Let x = -x

Therefore, the function is odd.

OPERATIONS OF FUNCTIONS

1. Addition: f(x) + g(x) or (f + g)(x)

2. Subtraction: (f – g)(x)
3. Multiplication: f
4. Division: f/g
5. Composition

COMPOSITION: The functions f(x) and g(x) as functions of x can be

combined by the procedure called composition.

The domain of the composite function is the set of all x in the

domain of g such that g(x) is in the domain of f
