Q. What is (fg)(x)(f - g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=3x+2f(x) = 3x + 2\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 difference of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
  2. Find (fg)(x)(f - g)(x): We have: \newlinef(x)=3x+2f(x) = 3x + 2 \newlineg(x)=2x2g(x) = 2x^2 \newlineWhich function represents (fg)(x)(f - g)(x)?\newline(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)\newline(fg)(x)=(3x+2)(2x2)(f - g)(x) = (3x + 2) - (2x^2)
  3. Simplify expression: We found: \newline(fg)(x)=(3x+2)(2x2)(f - g)(x) = (3x + 2) - (2x^2) \newlineExpress your answer as a simplified polynomial or rational function.\newlineDistribute the negative sign through the second term.\newline(fg)(x)=3x+22x2(f - g)(x) = 3x + 2 - 2x^2
  4. Rearrange terms: Rearrange the terms in descending order of the powers of xx.(fg)(x)=2x2+3x+2(f - g)(x) = -2x^2 + 3x + 2
