Q. What is (fg)(x)(f * g)(x)?\newlinef(x)=4x+1f(x) = 4x + 1\newlineg(x)=2xg(x) = 2x\newlineWrite your answer as a polynomial or a rational function in simplest form.\newline______
  1. Multiply functions: To find the product (fg)(x)(f * g)(x), we need to multiply the functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) together.\newlinef(x)=4x+1f(x) = 4x + 1\newlineg(x)=2xg(x) = 2x\newline(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f * g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)
  2. Perform multiplication: Now we will perform the multiplication: (fg)(x)=(4x+1)(2x)(f \cdot g)(x) = (4x + 1) \cdot (2x)
  3. Distribute 2x2x: Distribute 2x2x across the terms in the parentheses: (fg)(x)=4x2x+12x(f \cdot g)(x) = 4x \cdot 2x + 1 \cdot 2x
  4. Simplify multiplication: Simplify the multiplication: (fg)(x)=8x2+2x(f \cdot g)(x) = 8x^2 + 2x
  5. Final answer: The expression 8x2+2x8x^2 + 2x is already in its simplest form, so this is our final answer.
