Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=5xg(x)=−x2−4xWrite 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)=5xg(x)=−x2−4xWhich function represents (f∗g)(x)?(f∗g)(x)=f(x)∗g(x)(f∗g)(x)=5x∗(−x2−4x)
Calculate Product: We found: (f∗g)(x)=5x∗(−x2−4x)Express your answer as a simplified polynomial or rational function.Distribute the 5x across the terms in g(x).(f∗g)(x)=5x∗(−x2)+5x∗(−4x)
Distribute 5x: Simplify the expression.(f⋅g)(x)=−5x3−20x2
