Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=4x+4f(x) = -4x + 4\newlineg(x)=4xg(x) = -4x\newlineWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Multiply Functions: To find the product of two functions, we multiply them together. We have f(x)=4x+4f(x) = -4x + 4 and g(x)=4xg(x) = -4x. The product (fg)(x)(f * g)(x) is found by multiplying f(x)f(x) by g(x)g(x).\newlineCalculation: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=(4x+4)(4x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x) = (-4x + 4) * (-4x)
  2. Distribute Multiplication: Now we distribute the multiplication across the terms in the parentheses.\newlineCalculation: (4x+4)×(4x)=(4x×4x)+(4×4x)(-4x + 4) \times (-4x) = (-4x \times -4x) + (4 \times -4x)
  3. Simplify Terms: Next, we simplify each term.\newlineCalculation: (4x×4x)=16x2(-4x \times -4x) = 16x^2 and (4×4x)=16x(4 \times -4x) = -16x
  4. Combine Final Polynomial: Combine the simplified terms to get the final polynomial.\newlineCalculation: 16x216x16x^2 - 16x
