Identify functions: Identify the functions to be multiplied.We are given two functions:h(x)=x2+xg(x)=3x+5We need to find the product of these two functions, which is denoted as (h∗g)(x).
Multiply functions: Multiply the functions using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).(h∗g)(x)=(x2+x)×(3x+5)To multiply these, we distribute each term in the first function by each term in the second function.
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication.(h∗g)(x)=x2⋅3x+x2⋅5+x⋅3x+x⋅5
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by combining like terms and performing the multiplication.(h∗g)(x)=3x3+5x2+3x2+5x(h∗g)(x)=3x3+(5x2+3x2)+5x(h∗g)(x)=3x3+8x2+5x
