Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=5x+6g(x)=−2x2Write 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)=5x+6g(x)=−2x2Which function represents (f∗g)(x)?(f∗g)(x)=(5x+6)∗(−2x2)
Distribute Terms: Distribute the terms of f(x) over g(x) to find the product.(f∗g)(x)=5x∗(−2x2)+6∗(−2x2)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f∗g)(x)=−10x3−12x2
Express Answer: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.The polynomial is already in its simplest form, so no further simplification is needed.(f∗g)(x)=−10x3−12x2
