Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=3xf(x) = 3x\newlineg(x)=3x2+4xg(x) = 3x^2 + 4x\newlineWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Understand Meaning: First, we need to understand what fg)(x) means.Itmeansweneedtomultiplythefunction$f(x)f * g)(x)\ means. It means we need to multiply the function \$f(x) by the function g(x)g(x).
  2. Write Given Functions: Now, let's write down the functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) that we are given:\newlinef(x)=3xf(x) = 3x\newlineg(x)=3x2+4xg(x) = 3x^2 + 4x
  3. Multiply Functions: To find (fg)(x)(f * g)(x), we multiply f(x)f(x) by g(x)g(x):
    (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
    ==(3x)(3x2+4x)\phantom{=} = (3x) * (3x^2 + 4x)
  4. Distribute 3x3x: Distribute 3x3x across the terms in the parentheses:\newline(f \cdot g)(x) = 3x \cdot 3x^2 + 3x \cdot 4x\(\newline = 9x^3 + 12x^2\)
  5. Final Answer: The expression 9x3+12x29x^3 + 12x^2 is already in simplest form, so this is our final answer.
