find (f*g) (x)

for f(x)=3x2^ and g(x)=5-x

1 answer

To find \((f * g)(x)\), you need to multiply the two functions \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\).

Given:

  • \(f(x) = 3x^2\)
  • \(g(x) = 5 - x\)

The product \((f * g)(x)\) is computed as follows:

\[ (f * g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) \]

Substituting in the expressions for \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\):

\[ (f * g)(x) = (3x^2)(5 - x) \]

Now, distribute \(3x^2\) across \(5 - x\):

\[ (f * g)(x) = 3x^2 \cdot 5 - 3x^2 \cdot x \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ (f * g)(x) = 15x^2 - 3x^3 \]

So the final result is:

\[ (f * g)(x) = 15x^2 - 3x^3 \]
