Q. What is

(f * g)(x)

?

\newline

f(x) = -2x + 4

\newline

g(x) = -2x

\newline

Write your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.

\newline

______

Multiply Functions: To find the product of two functions, $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ , we multiply them together. This is denoted as $(f * g)(x)$ and means we need to multiply $f(x)$ by $g(x)$ . $\newline$ $f(x) = -2x + 4$ $\newline$ $g(x) = -2x$ $\newline$ $(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)$
Perform Multiplication: Now we will perform the multiplication: $\newline$ $(f * g)(x) = (-2x + 4) * (-2x)$ $\newline$ To multiply these two expressions, we use the distributive property $(a(b + c) = ab + ac)$ .
Distribute $-2x$ : We distribute $-2x$ across the terms in the parentheses: $\newline$ (f \cdot g)(x) = \(-2x \cdot ( $-2$ x) + ( $-2$ x) \cdot $4$
Calculate Each Term: Now we calculate each term: $\newline$ $-2x \times (-2x) = 4x^2$ (since a negative times a negative is a positive) $\newline$ $(-2x) \times 4 = -8x$ $\newline$ So, $(f \times g)(x) = 4x^2 - 8x$
