Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = 2x\newlineg(x)=2x25xg(x) = 2x^2 - 5x\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. Given functions: We have:\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = 2x\newlineg(x)=2x25xg(x) = 2x^2 - 5x\newlineNow, we need to multiply these two functions to find (fg)(x)(f * g)(x).\newline(fg)(x)=(2x)(2x25x)(f * g)(x) = (2x) * (2x^2 - 5x)
  3. Multiply functions: Distribute 2x2x across the terms in g(x)g(x).
    (fg)(x)=2x2x22x5x(f * g)(x) = 2x * 2x^2 - 2x * 5x
  4. Distribute 2x2x: Perform the multiplication for each term.(fg)(x)=4x310x2(f \cdot g)(x) = 4x^3 - 10x^2
  5. Perform multiplication: Check for any like terms that can be combined.\newlineThere are no like terms in 4x310x24x^3 - 10x^2, so this is the final simplified form.
