1

00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:02,280

all right so now we have operations on

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:05,069
functions so if we have two functions F

3
00:00:05,069 --> 00:00:07,290
and G then for all values of X for which

4
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:09,840
both these two functions exist then the

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,719
following four things are true so for

6
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:14,309
example this first this first one here

7
00:00:14,309 --> 00:00:16,859
says we have F plus G of X is equal to f

8
00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:20,010
of X plus G of X really what this means

9
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:21,810
is if you have two functions you can add

10
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:24,000
two functions together and get this new

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,300
function called F plus G please make

12
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,160
note this is not multiplication that's

13
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,070
going on right here this is not F plus G

14
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:34,440
times X and even though it looks like

15
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,730
we're using using the distributive

16
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:37,800
property it's not really the
17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,450
distributive property that's happening

18
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,730
okay because this is function notation F

19
00:00:41,730 --> 00:00:44,520
plus G is the name of the function X is

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,320
the independent variable that we're

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,250
using and this just F plus G of X is

22
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:52,410
just defined to be take the f of X

23
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:54,719
function and add it to the G of X

24
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:58,289
function same idea with F minus G of X

25
00:00:58,289 --> 00:01:01,980
that goes to f of X minus G of X yes it

26
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:03,780
matters which functions first in which

27
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:05,188
function is second because of the

28
00:01:05,188 --> 00:01:07,260
subtraction situation just be careful

29
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:08,970
with that and then down here we have F

30
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:12,720
times G of X as being a new function and

31
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,159
all that means is just take your two

32
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:16,350
functions f of X G of X and multiply
33
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:19,610
them together and then the last one is

34
00:01:19,610 --> 00:01:22,380
dividing two functions F divided by G of

35
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:25,170
X means just take f of X divide that by

36
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:27,829
G of X and of course G of X can't be 0

37
00:01:27,829 --> 00:01:29,490
because they needed app you'd be

38
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:31,320
undefined so really what this all boils

39
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,079
down to is you can add subtract multiply

40
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,400
and divide functions if you played with

41
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,290
polynomial expressions

42
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:42,450
prior to this you've already done all

43
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:44,040
four of these things just with

44
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,770
polynomials I'm probably rationals and

45
00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:48,119
other things as well you just were not

46
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:49,740
calling them functions so now we're just

47
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:51,600
backing you up one step and saying okay

48
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360
so these things are called functions and
49
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,520
here's what we can do with our functions

50
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,100
to get new functions it's like an

51
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,899
example let's let f of X be x squared

52
00:02:02,899 --> 00:02:06,420
minus three and let G of X be the

53
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:08,818
function 2x plus 5 now we just want to

54
00:02:08,818 --> 00:02:11,700
find f plus G of X now what I recommend

55
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:12,230
you do

56
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:15,200
and this is leading up into another into

57
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,120
the next video what I recommend you do

58
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,190
is write out what this is defined to be

59
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:24,590
okay F plus G of X E is defined to be f

60
00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:29,060
of X plus G of X all right and then line

61
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,849
up your equal sign is it alright what's

62
00:02:31,849 --> 00:02:40,069
f of X f of X is x squared minus 3 then

63
00:02:40,069 --> 00:02:43,310
we have plus and then we say all right

64
00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:50,049
what's G of X well G of X is 2x plus 5
65
00:02:50,049 --> 00:02:53,299
and we just add these together is really

66
00:02:53,299 --> 00:02:55,220
what's pool down to is you just add like

67
00:02:55,220 --> 00:03:01,190
terms so you have x squared plus 2x plus

68
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:04,989
2 and this is the new function down here

69
00:03:04,989 --> 00:03:09,230
right this is equal to f plus G of X do

70
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:11,840
not put a 0 over here on the left hand

71
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,220
side and then go solve this with the

72
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:15,769
quadratic formula what not now this is

73
00:03:15,769 --> 00:03:17,989
just the new function and its name is f

74
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:22,760
plus G of X all right let's try another

75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:31,010
one let's try F minus G all right so f

76
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:33,380
minus G of X okay I encourage you to

77
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,120
write out what the definition is what F

78
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,430
minus G of X is defined to be and that's

79
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:42,620
f of X minus G of X and then line up

80
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:43,880
your equal sign and say all right what's
81
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,600
f of X well that's x squared minus 3

82
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,150
then we have the minus sign and then G

83
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:55,220
of X is 2x plus 5 now notice this time

84
00:03:55,220 --> 00:03:58,160
I'm putting parentheses in the reason

85
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,720
why is because this G of X is a binomial

86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,489
we want to subtract that entire binomial

87
00:04:01,489 --> 00:04:04,519
from the x squared minus 3 situation and

88
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:06,410
so you have to put the parentheses in in

89
00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:08,060
order to distribute that negative sign

90
00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:11,090
and negative one sign through you could

91
00:04:11,090 --> 00:04:12,079
have done the same thing up here you

92
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:13,430
could have had parentheses around this

93
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:16,430
and parentheses around this when you add

94
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:18,139
them up you still get x squared plus 2x

95
00:04:18,139 --> 00:04:19,099
plus 2

96
00:04:19,099 --> 00:04:21,140
but with addition there's no really
97
00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:23,419
mistake to be made in terms of a sign

98
00:04:23,419 --> 00:04:25,490
error but with subtraction

99
00:04:25,490 --> 00:04:27,530
there's definitely a possibility for

100
00:04:27,530 --> 00:04:30,710
making a sign error so you you do need

101
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:32,090
to make sure you put those parentheses

102
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:33,590
around the second function that you're

103
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:35,509
subtracting so if this would have been G

104
00:04:35,509 --> 00:04:39,919
minus F we would have had G of X minus f

105
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:42,560
of X and we would have had two X plus

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,660
five minus and then parentheses x

107
00:04:44,660 --> 00:04:46,819
squared minus three all right so just be

108
00:04:46,819 --> 00:04:49,699
very very careful of your your

109
00:04:49,699 --> 00:04:51,770
parentheses there so then this goes to x

110
00:04:51,770 --> 00:04:54,889
squared minus three minus two X minus

111
00:04:54,889 --> 00:04:59,690
five and so that goes to x squared minus

112
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:03,800
two X minus eight and again this is a
113
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,169
new function we've just taken two

114
00:05:06,169 --> 00:05:09,710
functions F and a g subtracted on F

115
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:14,180
minus G and made a new function all

116
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:16,310
right it's name is f minus G of X so

117
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:18,320
what this is dinner all right so far so

118
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,490
good okay so let's let's go down to C

119
00:05:24,819 --> 00:05:30,740
okay F G of X all right so this means

120
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:32,750
multiplication so again I encourage you

121
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:34,940
write out what it's defined to be so f

122
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:42,740
of X times G of X oops equals all right

123
00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:47,479
so f of X was x squared minus 3 and G of

124
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:53,840
X was 2x plus 5 and this is just

125
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,930
multiplying two polynomials together so

126
00:05:56,930 --> 00:05:59,870
you've you've done that before so this

127
00:05:59,870 --> 00:06:05,620
goes to two X cubed plus five x squared

128
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:09,409
if you distribute that through minus 6x
129
00:06:09,409 --> 00:06:15,860
minus 15 and this is your new function

130
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:18,580
down here in its name is F times G of X

131
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:21,500
you know if you want you can bring that

132
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:27,080
down here and say F G of X and say

133
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,139
alright that's my function you could do

134
00:06:30,139 --> 00:06:31,190
that with all of them because that F

135
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,409
minus G of X is this down here and be

136
00:06:33,409 --> 00:06:35,260
done and this is f plus G so for

137
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:38,590
right but the point is is that we're

138
00:06:38,590 --> 00:06:40,330
making new functions so we're not

139
00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:42,280
solving anything we're just making new

140
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:50,440
functions all right one more D F divided

141
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,340
by G of X again write out what its

142
00:06:54,340 --> 00:07:00,880
defined to be f of X divided by G of X x

143
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:10,720
squared minus 3 and G is 2x plus 5 and

144
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,800
that's but all we're going to really
145
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,480
worry about but except for one thing on

146
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,710
these first three examples this one up

147
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:24,040
here f plus G of X is equal to x squared

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,580
plus 2x plus 2 the domain is all real

149
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:30,490
numbers for F minus G of X being x

150
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:32,050
squared minus 2x minus 8 again the

151
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:33,490
domain is all real numbers you can plug

152
00:07:33,490 --> 00:07:34,960
any number you want interfer x and

153
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,470
nothing bad happens all right same with

154
00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:40,990
multiplication you get 2x cubed plus 5x

155
00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:44,050
squared minus 6x minus 15 you can plug

156
00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:46,470
in any real number you want for X and

157
00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:48,670
another bad happens or the domains are

158
00:07:48,670 --> 00:07:50,560
real numbers but down here for D where

159
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,660
we start dividing it's not always the

160
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:53,170
case
161
00:07:53,170 --> 00:07:55,300
so we look at this thing here we say all

162
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,040
right we've got a fraction we want to

163
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,210
make sure we don't have 0 in the

164
00:07:58,210 --> 00:08:01,660
denominator so what value for X makes 0

165
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:05,980
in the denominator and we write we throw

166
00:08:05,980 --> 00:08:11,640
that one out x equals negative 5 halves

167
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,440
everybody say we got that all right so

168
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,710
this is the function f divided by G

169
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:19,870
provided X we don't use x equals

170
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:20,950
negative 5 halves

171
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:23,320
all right that's it's the concept so the

172
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,810
good news about these these operations

173
00:08:25,810 --> 00:08:27,280
on functions is you've probably played

174
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,010
with them before just not when they were

175
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:32,530
called functions that's all so all the

176
00:08:32,530 --> 00:08:34,659
algebra should should be ok
177
00:08:34,659 --> 00:08:36,820
all right so we've got one more

178
00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:39,070
operation on functions that we need to

179
00:08:39,070 --> 00:08:40,000
discuss

180
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,770
it's called composition of functions

181
