To find \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) \), we need to multiply the three functions \( f(x) \), \( g(x) \), and \( h(x) \).

  1. Function Definitions:

    • \( f(x) = x - 2 \)
    • \( g(x) = 2x \)
    • \( h(x) = \sqrt{x + 7} \)
  2. Calculating \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) \): \[ (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) \cdot h(x) = (x - 2)(2x)(\sqrt{x + 7}) \]

  3. Simplifying: \[ = (x - 2)(2x) \cdot \sqrt{x + 7} \] \[ = (2x^2 - 4x) \cdot \sqrt{x + 7} \]

  4. Domain: The domain of \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) \) is determined by the components:

    • \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are defined for all \( x \in (-\infty, \infty) \).
    • \( h(x) = \sqrt{x + 7} \) is defined when \( x + 7 \geq 0 \), or \( x \geq -7 \).

Therefore, the overall domain of \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) \) is \( x \geq -7 \).

Final Results

\[ (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) = (2x^2 - 4x) \cdot \sqrt{x + 7} \] Domain: \( x \geq -7 \)

So the correct response matches:

  • \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) = (2x^2 - 4x) \cdot \sqrt{x + 7} \)
  • The domain of \( (f \cdot g \cdot h)(x) \) is \( x \geq -7 \).
