**Understanding Function Operations through Graphs**

In this exercise, we will explore function operations using the graphs of two given functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \). The graphs for each function are provided below.

### Graph Analysis

#### Function \( f(x) \):
The graph of \( f(x) \) is displayed on the left:
- \( f(-4) = 2 \)
- \( f(-2) = -3 \)
- \( f(0) = 1 \)
- \( f(2) = 1 \)
- \( f(4) = 3 \)

The points plotted for \( f(x) \) create a broken line graph showing distinct y-values at specific x-points.

#### Function \( g(x) \):
The graph of \( g(x) \) is displayed on the right:
- \( g(-4) = 0 \)
- \( g(-2) = 4 \)
- \( g(0) = -4 \)
- \( g(2) = 0 \)
- \( g(4) = 2 \)

The points plotted for \( g(x) \) also create a broken line graph showcasing y-values at specific x-points.

### Determining Values for Function Operations

1. **(f + g)(1)**
   - First, find \( f(1) \) and \( g(1) \):
     - From the graph of \( f(x) \), \( f(1) = 1 \)
     - From the graph of \( g(x) \), \( g(1) = 1 \)
   - Then, \( (f + g)(1) = f(1) + g(1) = 1 + 1 = 2 \)

2. **(f - g)(3)**
   - First, find \( f(3) \) and \( g(3) \):
     - From the graph of \( f(x) \), \( f(3) = 1 \)
     - From the graph of \( g(x) \), \( g(3) = 1 \)
   - Then, \( (f - g)(3) = f(3) - g(3) = 1 - 1 = 0 \)

3. **(fg)(-1)**
   - First, find \( f(-1)
