Basic Function Operations
f ( x) and g ( x) are functions that exist and are defined over a domain.

value.
To sketch the graph of a difference of two functions
given their graphs, __________
subtract the ____coordinates
y at

Domain and Range

The domain of f(x) + g(x) is the overlap (intersection)
of the domains of the individual functions.

The range of f(x) + g(x) is determined from the graph

of the sum or difference.
