Sum of Functions: Group 3

The document discusses summing functions. It provides examples of adding two functions f(x) and g(x) together by combining like terms. Specifically: - It gives three examples of defining functions f(x) and g(x), finding their sum (f+g)(x) by adding the functions and combining like terms. - It then provides five exercises defining new functions f(x) and g(x) and calculating their sum (f+g)(x) for a given value of x. - The key steps are to add the functions f(x) and g(x), combine like terms, and optionally substitute a value for x and simplify if given.

Sum of Functions

Group 3
Example :
If f(x) = 3x + 1
g(x) =
2
- 3
(f + g) x = f(x) + g(x)
= 3x - 2 +
2

=
2
+3x 2

Add the terms of f(x) and g(x)
Combine like terms
Arrange the terms in descending order
Example #2
If f(x) = 3x -2
g(x) =
2
+ 2 3
(f + g) x = f(x) = g(x)
= (3x-2) + (
2
+ 2 3
=
2
+ 5 5

Definiton of sum

Example #3
f(x) =

5
g(x) = 5x + 4
Where in x = 3
= (
2
5) + (5x + 4)
=

= 9 + 15 1
= 23

Exercises
1.If f(x) =
2
+5 + 6
g(x) = x +2

2. If f(x) =
2
5
g(x) 5x + 4

3. If f(x) =
2
+ 3 + 2
g (x) = x+5
Where in x = 2

4. If f(x) = 2
2
+ + 7
g(x) = x 3
Where in x =4

5. If f(x) =
2
+ 6 + 9
g(x) = 2x 8
Where in x = 9


Answer
1. f(x)+gx = (
2
+5 = 6) + +2
=
2
+5 +6 + +2
=
2
+6 +8

2. (f+g) x = f(x) + g(x)
=(
2
5) + (5x+4)
=
2
+5 1

3. (f+g) x = f(x) = g(x)
= (
2
+3 +2) + +5
=
2
+4 +7
fx + gx =
2
+ 4x + 7
= (2)
2
+ 4 2 +7
= 4 + 8 + 7
= 19





4. fx + gx = (2
2
+ + 7) + 3
= 2
2
+2 + 4
= 2(4)
2
+2 4 + 4
= 32 + 8 + 4
= 44

5. fx + gx = (
2
+ 6x + 9) + (2x + 8)
=
2
+ 8 + 17
=(9)
2
+8 9 + 17
= 81 + 72 + 17
= 170
