Name ______________________
This test is take-home, so you may use your notes, book, Excel, MathGV, etc. This test is due back to me
at the beginning of class on Thursday, June 2, 2011. Late tests will not be accepted. Don’t forget to
simplify all of your answers and attach all of your work!

a) (f + g)(x)
b) (f – g)(x)
c) (f • g)(x)
d) (f ◦ g)(x)
2. Factor completely.
