If $f$ and $g$ are real functions defined by $f(x)=x^2+7$ and $g(x)=3 x+5$. Then, find each of the following.

(i) $f(3)+g(-5)$

(ii) $f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times g(14)$

(iii) $f(-2)+g(-1)$

(iv) $f(t)-f(-2)$

(v) $\frac{f(t)-f(5)}{t-5}$, if $t \neq 5$

Explanation

Given, $f$ and $g$ are real functions defined by $f(x)=x^2+7$ and $g(x)=3 x+5$.

(i) $f(3)=(3)^2+7=9+7=16$ and $g(-5)=3(-5)+5=-15+5=-10$

$$\therefore f(3)+g(-5)=16-10=6$$

(ii) $f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+7=\frac{1}{4}+7=\frac{29}{4}$

and $g(14)=3(14)+5=42+5=47$

$$\therefore \quad f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times g(14)=\frac{29}{4} \times 47=\frac{1363}{4}$$

(iii) $$\begin{aligned} & f(-2)=(-2)^2+7=4+7=11 \text { and } g(-1)=3(-1)+5=-3+5=2 \\ & \therefore \quad f(-2)+g(-1)=11+2=13 \end{aligned}$$

$\begin{aligned} \text { (iv) } f(t)=t^2+7 \text { and } f(-2) & =(-2)^2+7=4+7=11 \\ \therefore \quad f(t)-f(-2) & =t^2+7-11=t^2-4\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { (v) } f(t)=t^2+7 \text { and } f(5)=5^2+7=25+7=32 \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{f(t)-f(5)}{t-5} \text {, if } t \neq 5\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{t^2+7-32}{t-5} \\ & =\frac{t^2-25}{t-5}=\frac{(t-5)(t+5)}{(t-5)} \\ & =t+5\quad [\because t \neq 5]\end{aligned}$

Subjective

Let $f$ and $g$ be real functions defined by $f(x)=2 x+1$ and $g(x)=4 x-7$.

(i) For what real numbers $x, f(x)=g(x)$ ?

(ii) For what real numbers $x, f(x)< g(x)$ ?

Explanation

We have, $$f(x)=2 x+1 \text { and } g(x)=4 x-7$$

(i) $\because$ $$f(x)=g(x)$$

$$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 2 x+1=4 x-7 \Rightarrow 2 x=8 \\ & \therefore \quad x=4 \end{aligned}$$

(ii) $\because\quad f(x)< g(x)$

$\begin{array}{lc}\Rightarrow & 2 x+1<4 x-7 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 x-4 x+1<4 x-7-4 x \\ \Rightarrow & -2 x+1<-7 \\ \Rightarrow & -2 x<-7-1 \\ \Rightarrow & -2 x<-8 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{-2 x}{-2}>\frac{-8}{-2} \\ \therefore & x>4\end{array}$

Subjective

If $f$ and $g$ are two real valued functions defined as $f(x)=2 x+1$ and $g(x)=x^2+1$, then find

(i) $f+g$

(ii) $f-g$

(iii) $f g$

(iv) $\frac{f}{g}$

Explanation

We have, $f(x)=2 x+1$ and $g(x)=x^2+1$

$$\begin{aligned} \text{(i)}\quad (f+g)(x) & =f(x)+g(x) \\ & =2 x+1+x^2+1=x^2+2 x+2 \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} \text{(i)}\quad (f-g)(x) & =f(x)-g(x)=(2 x+1)-\left(x^2+1\right) \\ & =2 x+1-x^2-1=2 x-x^2=x(2-x) \end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned} \text{(iii)}\quad (f g)(x) & =f(x) \cdot g(x)=(2 x+1)\left(x^2+1\right) \\ & =2 x^3+2 x+x^2+1=2 x^3+x^2+2 x+1 \end{aligned}$$

(iv) $\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{2 x+1}{x^2+1}$

Subjective

Express the following functions as set of ordered pairs and determine their range.

$$f: x \rightarrow R, f(x)=x^3+1 \text {, where } x=\{-1,0,3,9,7\}$$

Explanation

We have, $f: X \rightarrow R, f(x)=x^3+1$.

Where $X=\{-1,0,3,9,7\}$,

When $x=-1$, then $f(-1)=(-1)^3+1=-1+1=0$

$\begin{aligned} & x=0, \text { then } f(0)=(0)^3+1=0+1=1 \\ & x=3 \text { then } f(3)=(3)^3+1=27+1=28 \\ & x=9 \text {, then } f(9)=(9)^3+1=729+1=730 \\ & x=7, \text { then } f(7)=(7)^3+1=343+1=344 \\ & f=\{(-1,0),(0,1),(3,28),(9,730),(7,344)\}\end{aligned}$

$\therefore \quad$ Range of $f=\{0,1,28,730,344\}$

Subjective

Find the values of $x$ for which the functions $f(x)=3 x^2-1$ and $g(x)=3+x$ are equal.

Explanation

$\because \quad f(x)=g(x)$

$$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 3 x^2-1=3+x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 3 x^2-x-4=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 3 x^2-4 x+3 x-4=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x(3 x-4)+1(3 x-4)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(3 x-4)(x+1)=0 \\ & \therefore \quad x=-1, \frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}$$
