use f(x)x+5 and g(x)=2x

find (f*g)(x)

1 answer

To find \((f \cdot g)(x)\), we will multiply the functions \(f(x)\) and \(g(x)\).

Given:

  • \(f(x) = x + 5\)
  • \(g(x) = 2x\)

The product \( (f \cdot g)(x) \) is given by:

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

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

\[ (f \cdot g)(x) = (x + 5)(2x) \]

Now, we distribute \(2x\) to both terms in \( (x + 5) \):

\[ (f \cdot g)(x) = 2x^2 + 10x \]

So, the result is:

\[ (f \cdot g)(x) = 2x^2 + 10x \]
