Q. What is

(f * g)(x)

?

\newline

f(x) = 4x + 1

\newline

g(x) = 2x

\newline

Write your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.

\newline

______

Multiply functions: To find the product $(f * g)(x)$ , we need to multiply the functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ together. $\newline$ $f(x) = 4x + 1$ $\newline$ $g(x) = 2x$ $\newline$ $(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)$
Perform multiplication: Now we will perform the multiplication: $(f \cdot g)(x) = (4x + 1) \cdot (2x)$
Distribute $2x$ : Distribute $2x$ across the terms in the parentheses: $(f \cdot g)(x) = 4x \cdot 2x + 1 \cdot 2x$
Simplify multiplication: Simplify the multiplication: $(f \cdot g)(x) = 8x^2 + 2x$
Final answer: The expression $8x^2 + 2x$ is already in its simplest form, so this is our final answer.
