Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=2x+2g(x)=3xWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.______
Identify formula: Identify the formula for (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x) is the product of f(x) and g(x).(f∗g)(x)=f(x)∗g(x)
Determine functions: We have:f(x)=2x+2g(x)=3xWhich function represents (f∗g)(x)?(f∗g)(x)=f(x)∗g(x)(f∗g)(x)=(2x+2)∗(3x)
Expand using distributive property: Expand the product using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials): (f∗g)(x)=2x∗3x+2∗3x(f∗g)(x)=6x2+6x
Express as simplified polynomial: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.The polynomial is already in its simplest form, so no further simplification is needed.(f∗g)(x)=6x2+6x
