Chapter 27.2
Adding functions
What You'll Learn
Understand the notation (f + g)(x) as f(x) + g(x)
Add polynomial functions by combining like terms
Evaluate the sum of two functions at specific input values
Add functions graphically by summing y-values at key x-coordinates
Verify addition results by checking multiple points on a graph
What You'll Practice
1
Adding polynomial expressions with multiple variable terms
2
Evaluating function sums at given x-values using substitution
3
Graphing the sum of two functions using important points
4
Simplifying expressions involving function addition and scalar multiplication
Why This Matters
Adding functions is essential for modeling combined real-world quantities like total profit, combined forces, or mixed costs. You'll use this skill throughout algebra, precalculus, and calculus when working with complex systems that involve multiple changing quantities.
