Composition of Functions

1. For f(x) = 2x + 1; g(x) = 3x - 2, find (f + g)(x) and (f - g)(x).


2. For f(x) = 2x^2 + 3; g(x) = 4x^3 + 1, find (f • g)(x) and (f/g)(x).


Question 1


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


(f + g)(x) = 2x + 1 + 3x - 2


(f + g)(x) = 5x - 1


(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)


(f - g)(x) = 2x + 1 -(3x - 2)


(f - g)(x) = 2x + 1 - 3x + 2


(f -g)(x) = -x + 3


Question 2


(f • g)(x) = f(x) • g(x)


(f • g)(x) = (2x^2 + 3)(4x^3 + 1)


(f • g)(x) = 8x^5 + 2x^2 + 12x^3 + 3


(f • g)(x) = 8x^5 + 12x^3 + 2x^2 + 3


(f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x)


(f/g)(x) = (2x^2 + 3)/(4x^3 + 1)...Do I stop here?

Looks good, feels good, all is good.
By the way, I am going through the entire College Algebra Edition 9 textbook by Michael Sullivan. It is a self-study of mathematics.
