FUNCTIONS
PRESENTED BY: Jenny Lou C. Mag-usara
What is functions?
- a function is a relationship between
inputs where each input is related to
exactly one output. Every function has a
domain and codomain or range. A function
is generally denoted by f(x) where x is the
input. The general representation of a
function is y = f(x).
Why is this
a function?

Domain
and Range
DOMAIN
-the domain is where the function starts (input),
domain is defined as the set of all possible input
values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
EXAMPLE:
R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 3)}
RANGE
-the range is where it goes (output), range is
defined as the set of all possible output values
(y-values) that the function can produce
EXAMPLE:
R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 3)}

ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
-algebra of functions means the operations of the
functions, specifically the arithmetic operations.
Algebra of functions mainly deals with the following
four arithmetic operations of functions:
Addition of functions
Subtraction of functions
Multiplication of functions
Division of functions
ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Here are the formulas of all these operations.
ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Addition of Function
-the sum of two functions at a given input is equal to the sum of
the independent functions at the same input.
FORMULA: (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
Example: When f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = x + 1, then
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Subtraction of Function
-the difference of two functions at a given input is equal to the
difference of the independent functions at the same input. i.e.,
FORMULA: (f - g) (x) = f(x) - g(x)
Example: When f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = x + 1, then
(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) -2

ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Multiplication of Function
-the product of two functions at a given input is equal to the
product of the independent functions at the same input.
FORMULA: (f · g) (x) = f(x) · g(x)
Example: When f(x) = x² + 2 and g(x) = x + 1, then
(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x) -2

ALGEBRA OF FUNCTIONS
Division of Function
-the domain of the quotient of two functions is the intersection
of the domain of the independent functions. But we have to
take care of the extra condition, setting the denominator
function to "not equal to 0" because if the denominator is 0,
then the fraction is undefined.
FORMULA:(f / g) (x) = f(x) / g(x), given

1. Let: 2. Let:
- f(x) = 2x + 3 - f(x)= x+4
- g(x) = x² - 1 - g(x)= x²+2
Composite
Function
COMPOSITE OF FUNCTION
- a composite function is created when one function is substituted into
another function.
We can understand this using the following figure:
i.e., to find f(g(x)) (which is read as "f of g of x"), we have to find g(x)
first and then we substitute the result in f(x).
Symbol of Composite Function
The symbol of the composite of functions is "∘". It can
also be shown without using this symbol but by using
the brackets. i.e.,
(f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x)) and is read as "f of g of x". Here, g
is the inner function and f is the outer function.
(g ∘ f)(x) = g(f(x)) and is read as "g of f of x". Here, f
is the inner function and g is the outer function.

- x=2 5. ( g ∘ h)(2)
Even and Odd
Functions
EVEN AND ODD FUNCTIONS
An even function satisfies the property that f(-x) =
f(x) for all x in its domain, meaning its graph is
symmetric about the y-axis.
An odd function satisfies f(-x) = -f(x) for all x in its
domain, and its graph is symmetric about the
origin. If a function does not meet either of these
conditions, it is neither even nor odd.
