Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=5x+1f(x) = 5x + 1\newlineg(x)=4xg(x) = -4x\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. Given Functions: We have: \newlinef(x)=5x+1f(x) = 5x + 1 \newlineg(x)=4xg(x) = -4x \newlineWhich function represents (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newline(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)\newline(fg)(x)=(5x+1)(4x)(f * g)(x) = (5x + 1) * (-4x)
  3. Expand Product: Expand the product using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). \newline(fg)(x)=5x(4x)+1(4x)(f * g)(x) = 5x * (-4x) + 1 * (-4x)
  4. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newline(fg)(x)=20x24x(f \cdot g)(x) = -20x^2 - 4x
