Function Operations and Composition
![Page 2: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Arithmetic Operations on Functions
As mentioned near the end of Section 2.3, economists frequently use the equation “profit equals revenue minus cost,” or
P(x) = R(x) – C(x),
where x is the number of items produced and sold.
![Page 3: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
That is, the profit function is fund by subtracting the cot function from the revenue function.
Figure 94 shows the situation for a company that manufactures DVDs.

The two lines are the graphs of the linear functions for revenue R(x) = 168x
and Cost C(x) = 118x +800
with x, R(x) and C(x) given in thousands

When 30,000 DVDs are produced and sold, profit is
P(30) = R(30) – C(30)
= 168(30) – [118(30) + 800]
= 5040 – 4340
= 700
That is the profit from the
sale of 30,000 DVDs is
$700

The Difference Quotient
Suppose the point P lies on the graph of y = f(x), and h is a positive number.
If we let (x, f(x)) denot the coordinates of P and (x+h, f(x+h)) denote the coordinates of Q, then the line joining P and Q has slope

This difference is called the difference quotient.
Figure 96 shows the graph of the line PQ (called a secant line.
![Page 23: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
As h approaches 0, the slope of this secant line approaches the slope of the line tangent to the curve at P. Important applications of this idea are developed in calculus.
The next example illustrates a three-step process for finding the difference quotient of a function.

Example 4 finding the Difference Quotient
Let f(x) = 2x2 – 3x. Find the difference quotient and simplify the expression.
Step 1. Find f(x + h)
Step 2. Find f(x + h) – f(x)
Step 3. Find the difference quotient.

Composition of Functions
The diagram in Figure 97 shows a function f that assigns to each x in its domain a value f(x).
![Page 26: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Then another function g assigns to each f(x) in its domain a value g[f(x)]. This two step process takes an element x and produces a corresponding element g[f(x)].
![Page 27: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

As a real-life example of function composition, suppose an oil well off the California coast is leaking, with a leak spreading iol in a circular layer over the water’s surface.
![Page 30: Chapter 2.7](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56814f97550346895dbd5413/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
At any time t, in minutes, after the beginning of the leak, the radius of the circular oil slick is r(t) = 5t feet.
