Find ƒ+g and determine the domain for each function. f(x) = 2x + 3, g(x) = x − 1

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the given functions: \(f(x) = 2x + 3\) and \(g(x) = x - 1\).

To find \((f + g)(x)\), add the two functions together: \((f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)\).

Substitute the expressions for \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\) into the sum: \((f + g)(x) = (2x + 3) + (x - 1)\).

Combine like terms to simplify the expression: \((f + g)(x) = 2x + x + 3 - 1\).

Determine the domain of \((f + g)(x)\) by finding the intersection of the domains of \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\). Since both are linear functions defined for all real numbers, the domain is all real numbers.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Function Addition (ƒ + g)

Function addition involves creating a new function by adding the outputs of two given functions for the same input value. For functions f(x) and g(x), (ƒ + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x). This operation combines the expressions algebraically to form a single function.

Domain of a Function

The domain of a function is the set of all input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. When combining functions, the domain of the resulting function is the intersection of the domains of the original functions, ensuring all inputs are valid for both.

Linear Functions

Linear functions are polynomial functions of degree one, typically written as f(x) = mx + b. They have a constant rate of change and their graphs are straight lines. Understanding their form helps in performing operations like addition and determining domains easily.
