Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=−4xg(x)=2x2−2Write 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)=−4xg(x)=2x2−2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(−4x)∗(2x2−2)
Distribute −4x: Distribute −4x to each term in the second function.(f∗g)(x)=(−4x)∗(2x2)+(−4x)∗(−2)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.(f⋅g)(x)=−8x3+8x
Express Answer: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.The polynomial is already in its simplest form, so we do not need to combine any like terms.(f∗g)(x)=−8x3+8x
