Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=2x+6g(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+6g(x)=−3x2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(2x+6)∗(−3x2)
Multiply Functions: Distribute the terms of f(x) over g(x) to find the product.(f∗g)(x)=2x∗(−3x2)+6∗(−3x2)
Distribute Terms: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f∗g)(x)=−6x3+(−18x2)
Perform Multiplication: Combine the like terms if there are any. In this case, there are no like terms to combine.So, the expression is already simplified.(f∗g)(x)=−6x3−18x2
