TYPES OF FUNCTIONS
LINEAR FUNCTION
A function f is a linear function if
f(x) = mx + b, where m and b are real
numbers, and m and f(x) are not both
equal to zero.
CONSTANT FUNCTION
A linear function f is a constant function if
f(x) = mx + b, where m = 0 and b is any
real number. Thus, f(x) = b.
IDENTITY FUNCTION
A linear function f is an identity function
if f(x) = mx + b, where m = 1 and b = 0.
Thus, f(x) = x.
Piecewise Function
A piecewise function or a compound
function is a function defined by
multiple sub-functions, where each sub-
function applies to a certain interval of
the main function's domain.
Many-to-one Function
if there areyvalues that have more
than onexvalue mapped onto them.

EVALUATING FUNCTIONS
LAW OF SUBSTITUTION
If a + x = b and x = c, then a+ c= b
Example 1
If f(x) = x + 8, evaluate each.

Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students must
be able to:
•find the sum of functions;
•determine the difference between
functions;
•identify the product of functions;
•find the quotient between functions; and
•determine the composite of a function.
ADDITION OF FUNCTIONS
Let f and g be any two functions.
The sum f + g is a function whose
domains are the set of all real numbers
common to the domain of f and g, and
defined as follows:
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
SUBTRACTION OF FUNCTIONS
Let f and g be any two functions.
The differencef –g is a function whose
domains are the set of all real numbers
common to the domain of f and g, and
defined as follows:
(f –g)(x) = f(x) –g(x)
MULTIPLICATION OF FUNCTIONS
Let f and g be any two functions.
The product fgis a function whose
domains are the set of all real numbers
common to the domain of f and g, and
defined as follows:
(fg)(x) = f(x) · g(x)
DIVISION OF FUNCTIONS
Let f and g be any two functions.
The quotientf/g is a function whose domains
are the set of all real numbers common to the
domain of f and g, and defined as follows: ,
where g(x) ≠ 0.f

x()=
fx()
gx()
