Q. What is (f∗g)(x)?f(x)=−x+5g(x)=3x2Write 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)
Multiply Functions: We have: f(x)=−x+5g(x)=3x2Now, we need to multiply these two functions to find (f∗g)(x).(f∗g)(x)=(−x+5)∗(3x2)
Distribute Terms: Distribute each term in the first polynomial over the second polynomial.(f∗g)(x)=(−x)∗(3x2)+5∗(3x2)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.(f∗g)(x)=−3x3+15x2
Check Simplification: Check for like terms and simplify if necessary.There are no like terms in −3x3+15x2, so the expression is already in its simplest form.
