Functions
§ 9.1
The Algebra of Functions;
Composite Functions
Operations on Functions
It is possible to add, subtract, multiply, and
divide functions.
The results of these operations will also be
functions (assuming we don’t divide by zero).

Operations on Functions
Algebra of Functions
Let f and g be functions. New functions from f and g
are defined as follows:
Sum
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
Difference (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x)
Product
(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x)
Quotient

Operations on Functions
Example:
If f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x) = x2, then find each of the
following
•
(f + g)(x)
4x + 3 + x2 = x2 + 4x + 3
•
(f – g)(x)
4x + 3 – x2 = -x2 + 4x + 3
•
(f · g)(x)
(4x + 3)x2 = 4x3 + 3x2

Function Composition
We can also combine functions through a function
composition.
A function composition uses the output from the
first function as the input to the second function.
Composition of a Function
The composition of function f and g is
( f  g )( x)  f ( g ( x))
This means the value of x is first substituted into
the function g. Then the value that results from the
function g is input into the function f.
Martin-Gay, Intermediate Algebra, 5ed
7
Function Composition
Notice, that with function composition, we
actually activate the functions from right to left in
the notation. The function named on the right
side of the composition notation is the one we
substitute the value for the variable into first.
Martin-Gay, Intermediate Algebra, 5ed

Function Composition
Example:
If f(x) = 4x + 3 and g(x) = x2, then find
( f  g )( x)
f(g(x)) = 4(x2) + 3 = 4x2 + 3
( g  f )( x)
g(f(x)) = (4x + 3)2 = 16x2 + 24x + 9
Notice the results are different with a different order.
Martin-Gay, Intermediate Algebra, 5ed

Function Composition
Example:
If H(x) = x3 + 3, name two functions whose
composition will result in H(x).
Note: There may be more than one way to select
the two functions. Answers are not necessarily
unique.
Let f(x) = x + 3, and g(x) = x3
( f  g )( x)  f ( g ( x))  x 3  3

Exponential Expressions
We have previously worked with exponential
expressions, where the exponent was a
rational number
The expression bx can actually be defined for
all real numbers, x, including irrational
numbers.
However, the proof of this would have to wait
until a higher level math course.

Exponential Functions
Exponential Functions
A function of the form
f(x) = bx
is called an exponential function if b > 0, b is
not 1, and x is a real number.
Martin-Gay, Intermediate Algebra, 5ed
20
Exponential Functions
We can graph exponential functions of the form
f(x) = 3x, g(x) = 5x or h(x) = (½)x by substituting in
values for x, and finding the corresponding
function values to get ordered pairs.
We would find all graphs satisfy the following
properties:
• 1-to-1 function
• y-intercept (0, 1)
• no x-intercept
• domain is (-, )
• range is (0, )

Applications of Exponential Functions
Many applications use exponential functions of
various types.
Compound interest formulas are exponential functions
used to determine the amount of money accumulated
or borrowed.
Exponential functions with negative exponents can be
used to describe situations of decay, while those with
positive exponents can be used to describe situations
of growth.

was invested and earned 6% compounded monthly for 18
years. Round your answer to two decimal places.

local stream has led to the presence of radioactive debris
decaying at a rate of 5% each day. Find how much debris still
remains after 30 days.
The formula that would be used for this problem is
y  A(2.7)  rt
where A is the amount of radioactive material to start, r is the
rate of decay, t is the number of days and y is the amount of
radioactive material after the time period.

Logarithmic Function
If x is a positive real number, b is a constant positive
real number, and b is not 1, then a logarithmic
function is a function that can be defined by
f(x) = logb x
The domain of f is the set of positive real numbers, and
the range of f is the set of real numbers.
A logarithmic function is an inverse function of an
exponential function.
