Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = 2x\newlineg(x)=4x+1g(x) = 4x + 1\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. Calculate product: We have:\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = 2x\newlineg(x)=4x+1g(x) = 4x + 1\newlineNow, calculate the product of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) to find (fg)(x)(f * g)(x).\newline(fg)(x)=(2x)(4x+1)(f * g)(x) = (2x) * (4x + 1)
  3. Distribute 2x2x: Distribute 2x2x across the terms in the parentheses.\newline(fg)(x)=2x4x+2x1(f \cdot g)(x) = 2x \cdot 4x + 2x \cdot 1
  4. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newline(fg)(x)=8x2+2x(f \cdot g)(x) = 8x^2 + 2x
  5. Express as polynomial: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.\newlineThe polynomial 8x2+2x8x^2 + 2x is already in its simplest form.
