Homework on Function Operations
- Let f(x)=x^2-2 and g(x)=sqrt(x) + 1.
Find f + g, f - g, fg, f/g , fog, gof (the last two are supposed to be
compositions)
- Write the following functions in terms of simpler functions using
the "function operations" given in class (see above).
(3x^2-2)(x+5)
sin(x)/(x+5)
sin(3(x-5))
sqrt{2 + [3(x-4)]^2}
In the above use 2, 2 or 3, 3 and 5 functions respectively.
