Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=−3x+4g(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+4g(x)=−2x2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(−3x+4)∗(−2x2)
Multiply Functions: Distribute each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial.(f∗g)(x)=(−3x∗−2x2)+(4∗−2x2)
Distribute Terms: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f∗g)(x)=6x3+(−8x2)
Perform Multiplication: Combine the like terms if there are any. In this case, there are no like terms to combine.So, the final simplified form of the polynomial is:(f∗g)(x)=6x3−8x2
