 Developmental Activity
1. Presentation (Lecture/Discussion)
The Rules on performing operations of functions, f and g, are the
following:
a) The sum, f + g, is the function defined by:
𝑦 = (𝑓 + 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)
b) The difference, f – g, is the function defined by:
𝑦 = (𝑓 − 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)
c) The product, 𝑓 ∙ 𝑔, is the function defined by:
𝑦 = (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑓
d) The quotient, 𝑔, is the function defined by:
 𝑓 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑦 = (𝑔) 𝑥 = 𝑔(𝑥), where g(x)≠0

Let f and g be functions. The composite function, denoted

by (f ◦g), is denoted by (f ◦g)(x) = f(g(x)). The process of obtaining
a composite function is called function composition.

2. Unlocking of Difficulties
If f and g are functions defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 2 and g(x)=x-2, find the
following in simplified form:
1. (𝑓 + 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)
2. (𝑓 − 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)
3. (𝑓 ∙ 𝑔)𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑓 𝑓(𝑥)
4. ( ) 𝑥 =
𝑔 𝑔(𝑥)

 Post-developmental Activity
1. Practice and Drill
a) Given the functions 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 , 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3 and ℎ(𝑥) = 3√𝑥, find:
 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑓(𝑥)

𝑔(𝑥)
 𝑓(𝑥) ∙ 𝑔(𝑥)
 𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)
2. Generalization
Let f and g be functions. (a) Their sum, denoted by f + g, is the function
denoted by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x). (b) Their difference, denoted by f −g, is the
function denoted by (f −g)(x) = f(x)− g(x). (c) Their product, denoted by f ·g, is the
function denoted by (f ·g)(x) = f(x)·g(x). (d) Their quotient, denoted by f/g, is the
function denoted by (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x), excluding the values of x where g(x) = 0.
