Test of Function
For the equation the domain and
range is very important because it
estimates the possible values of the
variable x. (evaluate the function by
changing the value of x)
Example
Given
• the function:
What is f(1)?
Step 1.
Step 2. Change f(x) = f(1)
Step 3. Replace x in the equation with 1
Step 4. solve
Step 5.
Example
Given
• the function:
What is f(5)?
Step 1.
Step 2. Change f(x) = f(5)
Step 3. Replace x in the equation with 5
Step 4. solve
Step 5.

LESSON 3
Let f and g be function.
••
a. Their sum, denoted by , is the function defined by
• b. Their difference, denoted by , is the function defined by
• c. Their product, denoted by , is the function defined by
• d. Their quotient, denoted by , is the function defined by ,
excluding the values of x where g(x) ≠ 0
IN ADDITION
•In addition, Only same number of exponent
can be added or subtracted. If their exponent
is not the same then ignore it and just copy
the expression.
IN SUBTRACTION
•For the difference of function remember
K-C-C or Keep Change Change… that the
first set of equation is to be kept and the
sign of the second set of equation should
be changed.
In MULTIPLICATION
•For product, the only time that
different exponent can be multiplied,
but if they are different variable then
simply copy the variables. If the
variables have different exponents
then simply add it.
DIVISION OF FUNCTION

Their quotient, denoted by , is the function defined by ,
excluding the values of x where g(x) ≠ 0
𝑓 (𝑥) 2 𝑥 +5 2 𝑥 +5

𝑔 (𝑥 ) 𝑥 − 1 ( 𝑥+1)( 𝑥 −1)
Final answer

𝑔 ( 𝑥 ) = 𝑥 −1
f(x) = x + 1
