Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
The given functions are:
[tex]f(x) = - 2x - 7[/tex]
and
[tex]g(x) = - 4x + 6[/tex]
[tex](f \times g)(x) = f(x) \times g(x)[/tex]
[tex](f \times g)(x) = ( - 2x - 7)( - 4x + 6)[/tex]
When we plug in x=-5, we get:
[tex](f \times g)( - 5) = ( - 4 \times - 5 + 6)( - 2 \times - 5 - 7)[/tex]
[tex](f \times g)( - 5) = ( 20 + 6)( 10 - 7)[/tex]
[tex](f \times g)(5) = ( 26)( 3) =7 8[/tex]
