Math Problem Statement

Theirsum, denoted by f+g, is the function denoted by (f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)

Solution

Yes, that's correct!

The sum of two functions ff and gg, denoted by (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x), is defined as:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

This means that to find the value of the new function (f+g)(x)(f+g)(x) at any point xx, you simply add the values of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) together.

If you have two functions:

  • f(x)f(x), and
  • g(x)g(x),

Their sum is another function that for each input xx returns the sum of the outputs of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you find the difference of two functions (fg)(x)(f - g)(x)?
  2. What happens if one of the functions is a constant, such as f(x)=3f(x) = 3?
  3. Can you multiply two functions together, and how is that defined?
  4. What is the result if f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 and g(x)=x+1g(x) = x + 1?
  5. How would the sum of two functions work if both are piecewise functions?

Tip: When adding functions, the domain of the resulting function f+gf+g is the intersection of the domains of ff and gg.
