    Study Notes

    Function Evaluation

    • Evaluating functions involves substituting a given value for the variable.
    • For x = 3, the following evaluations are done:
      • f(x) = 2x + 1 results in 7.
      • g(x) = x² - 2x + 2 results in 5.
      • f(x) = x² + 8x + 9 results in 27.

    Addition of Functions (Sum)

    • Begin by substituting the variable values into the functions.
    • Rearrange the functions correctly, ensuring the signs are chosen appropriately.
    • Combine the variables, maintaining the correct exponents.
    • Collect like terms (LT) to simplify the result.

    Subtraction of Functions (Difference)

    • Start by substituting values into the functions as needed.
    • Properly arrange the functions for clear subtraction.
    • Combine variables, keeping track of their exponents during the process.
    • Again, gather like terms (LT) together for the final expression.

    Division of Functions

    • Consider the functions f(x) and g(x) defined as follows:
      • f(x) = 2x³ - 3x + 4
      • g(x) = 3x² + 2x - 6
    • For adding functions: (f + g)(x) combines both functions to yield:
      • (2x³ - 3x + 4) + (3x² + 2x - 6) = 2x³ + 3x² - x - 2.
    • For subtracting functions: (f - g)(x) calculates the difference as:
      • (2x³ - 3x + 4) - (3x² + 2x - 6) = 2x³ - 3x² - 5x + 10.
