Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=3x+2g(x)=−2x2Write 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)=3x+2g(x)=−2x2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(3x+2)∗(−2x2)
Distribute Terms: Distribute the terms of f(x) across the terms of g(x) to find the product.(f∗g)(x)=3x∗(−2x2)+2∗(−2x2)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f⋅g)(x)=−6x3+(−4x2)
Combine Like Terms: Combine 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)=−6x3−4x2
