Example f(x) = x + 2 g(x) = x + 4 A combination of two functions could be f(x) + g(x) g(x) - f(x) f(x) * g(x) f(x) / g(x) Make sense so far?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yes

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

A composite function something like g o f(x) or f o g(x) These are different. Instead of operating on the two functions, you replace the contents of one function into another. So, f o g(x) means that you take g(x) and place it into f(x) wherever "x" is. So, if f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = x + 3 f o g(x) = g(x) + 2 = (x + 3) + 2 = x + 5.

Thank you. Have a good night.

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

and le me guess, when you combine functions, you jus add, sub, div, or mul the values of the individual functions togehter!?!?!?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

thank you darling, your the reason, the werd is going rotating in circle!! <3

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

Yes, that's right. f(x) = x + 2, g(x) = x + 3 f(x) + g(x) = (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 2x + 5.

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yes papa, i got it. Thanks!!!!!!
