Mathematics Question on Relations and functions
Let f, g:R→R be defined, respectively by f(x) = x+1, g(x) = 2x-3. Find f+g, f-g and gf.
Answer
f, g: R→R is defined as f(x) = x+1, g(x) = 2x-3
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (x+1) + (2x-3) = 3x-2
∴ (f+g)(x) = 3x-2
(f-g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = (x+1) - (2x-3) = x+1-2x+3 = - x+4
∴ (f-g)(x) = -x+4
(gf)(x) = g(x)f(x), g(x)≠0,x∈R
(gf)(x) = 2x−3x+1, 2x-3≠0 or 2x≠3
(gf)(x) = 2x−3x+1, x≠23
