Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=3x+6f(x) = -3x + 6\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 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. Define functions: We have:\newlinef(x)=3x+6f(x) = -3x + 6\newlineg(x)=2x2g(x) = -2x^2\newlineNow, we need to multiply these two functions to find (fg)(x)(f * g)(x).\newline(fg)(x)=(3x+6)(2x2)(f * g)(x) = (-3x + 6) * (-2x^2)
  3. Distribute terms: Distribute 2x2-2x^2 to both terms in the parentheses.\newline(fg)(x)=3x(2x2)+6(2x2)(f \cdot g)(x) = -3x \cdot (-2x^2) + 6 \cdot (-2x^2)
  4. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.\newline(fg)(x)=6x312x2(f * g)(x) = 6x^3 - 12x^2
  5. Simplify polynomial: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.\newlineThe polynomial is already in its simplest form, so we are done.\newline(fg)(x)=6x312x2(f * g)(x) = 6x^3 - 12x^2
