The function pictured has been named f. Here x represents an arbitrary input, and f(x) (read “f of x,” “f at x,” or “the value of “f at x”) represents the corresponding output.

To determine what x-value would cause x − 8 to be 0, we solve the equation:
Thus 8 is not in the domain of f, whereas all other real numbers are.

Algebra of FunctionsAlgebra of Functions The Sum, Difference, Product, or
Quotient of Two Functions Suppose that a is in the domain of two
functions, f and g. The input a is paired with f(a) by f and with g(a) by g.
The outputs can then be added to obtain: f(a) + g(a).

SOLUTIONa) Since f(4) = −8 and g(4) = 13,
we have (f + g)(4) = f(4) + g(4) = −8 + 13 = 5.

Example Example Function Algebra Function Algebra Given f(x) = x2 + 2 and g(x) = x − 3,
find each of the following.• a) The domain of f + g, f − g, f•g, and f/g• b) (f − g)(x) c) (f/g)(x)
SOLUTION a)• The domain of f is the set of all real
numbers. The domain of g is also the set of all real numbers. The domains of f +g, f − g, and f•g are the set of numbers in the intersection of the domains; i.e., the set of numbers in both domains, or all real No.s
• For f/g, we must exclude 3, since g(3) = 0

• (f − g)(x) = f(x) − g(x) = (x2 + 2) − (x − 3) = x2 − x + 5
SOLUTION c) → (f/g)(x)
• Remember to add the restriction that x ≠ 3, since 3 is not in the domain of (f/g)(x)

Demographers use birth and death rates to determine population growth and evaluate the general health of the populations they study. These rates usually denote the number of births and deaths per 1,000 people in a given year.
