Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=x+4f(x) = -x + 4\newlineg(x)=4xg(x) = 4x\newlineWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.\newline\underline{\hspace{3em}}\newline
  1. Define functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x): f(x)=x+4f(x) = -x + 4 and g(x)=4xg(x) = 4x, so (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x).
  2. Expand (fg)(x)(f * g)(x): (fg)(x)=(x+4)4x(f * g)(x) = (\text{–}x + 4) * 4x.
  3. Combine like terms: (fg)(x)=x4x+44x(f \cdot g)(x) = -x \cdot 4x + 4 \cdot 4x.
  4. Final result: (fg)(x)=4x2+16x(f * g)(x) = -4x^2 + 16x.
