Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=2x+6f(x) = 2x + 6\newlineg(x)=2x2g(x) = -2x^2\newlineWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Identify formula: Identify the formula for (fg)(x)(f * g)(x).(fg)(x)(f * g)(x) is the product of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
  2. Define functions: We have:\newlinef(x)=2x+6f(x) = 2x + 6\newlineg(x)=2x2g(x) = -2x^2\newlineNow, we need to multiply these two functions to find (fg)(x)(f * g)(x).\newline(fg)(x)=(2x+6)(2x2)(f * g)(x) = (2x + 6) * (-2x^2)
  3. Multiply functions: Distribute the terms of f(x)f(x) across the terms of g(x)g(x) to find the product.(fg)(x)=2x(2x2)+6(2x2)(f * g)(x) = 2x * (-2x^2) + 6 * (-2x^2)
  4. Distribute terms: Perform the multiplication for each term.\newline(fg)(x)=4x312x2(f * g)(x) = -4x^3 - 12x^2
  5. Perform multiplication: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.\newlineThe polynomial is already in its simplest form, so no further simplification is needed.\newline(fg)(x)=4x312x2(f \cdot g)(x) = -4x^3 - 12x^2
