Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = -2x\newlineg(x)=4x+6g(x) = -4x + 6\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. Calculate Product: We have:\newlinef(x)=2xf(x) = -2x\newlineg(x)=4x+6g(x) = -4x + 6\newlineNow, calculate the product of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).\newline(fg)(x)=(2x)(4x+6)(f * g)(x) = (-2x) * (-4x + 6)
  3. Distribute 2x-2x: Distribute 2x-2x across the terms in the parentheses.\newline(fg)(x)=(2x4x)+(2x6)(f * g)(x) = (-2x * -4x) + (-2x * 6)
  4. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication. (fg)(x)=8x212x(f \cdot g)(x) = 8x^2 - 12x
  5. Simplify Polynomial: Express your answer as a simplified polynomial.\newlineThe polynomial 8x212x8x^2 - 12x is already in its simplest form.
