Let f(x) = -2x + 7 and g(x) = -6x + 3. Find f x g and state its domain.

a. 12x^2 - 48x + 21; all real numbers except x = 1
b. 12x^2 - 48x + 21; all real numbers
c.-14x^2 + 36x - 18; all real numbers
d.-14x^2 + 36x - 18; all real numbers except x = 7

Answer:

b) [tex]12x^2-48x+21[/tex] ; all real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

f and g are polynomials and polynomials have domain all real numbers.

This is because when you input any number there will always be a existing output. There are no restrictions on what you can plug into a polynomial.

So the answer is either b or c.

[tex](f \times g)(x)=f(x) \times g(x)[/tex]

[tex](f \times g)(x)=(-2x+7) \times (-6x+3)[/tex]

[tex]f \times g)(x)=(-2x+7)(-6x+3)[/tex]

Let's use foil!

First: [tex]-2x(-6x)=12x^2[/tex]

Outer: [tex]-2x(3)=-6x[/tex]

Inner:  [tex]7(-6x)=-42x[/tex]

Last:  [tex]7(3)=21[/tex]

-----------------------------Add like terms:

[tex]12x^2-48x+21[/tex]

The answer is b.
