Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=−2x+4g(x)=−3x2Write 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)
Given functions: We have:f(x)=−2x+4g(x)=−3x2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(−2x+4)∗(−3x2)
Multiply functions: Distribute −3x2 to each term in the polynomial −2x+4.(f∗g)(x)=(−2x∗−3x2)+(4∗−3x2)
Distribute terms: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f∗g)(x)=6x3+(−12x2)
Perform multiplication: Combine the like terms if there are any. In this case, there are no like terms to combine.So, the final simplified polynomial is:(f⋅g)(x)=6x3−12x2
