If f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x2 + 1, which expression is equivalent to (fxg) (x)?
\(f(x)=3x+2\\The\ domain\ D_f=\mathbb{R}\\\\g(x)=x^2+1\\The\ domain\ D_G=\mathbb{R}\\\\D_f=D_g\ therefore\ (f\times g)(x)=f(x)\times g(x)\\\\(f\times g)(x)=(3x+2)(x^2+1)=3x^3+3x+2x^2+2=\boxed{3x^3+2x^2+3x+2}\)
Answer:
\((f\times g) (x)=3x^3+2x^2+3x+2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : If \(f(x) = 3x + 2\) and \(g(x)=x^2+1\)
To find : Which expression is equivalent to \((f\times g) (x)\)?
Solution :
We can write,
\((f\times g) (x)=f(x)\times g(x)\) ....(1)
We know, \(f(x) = 3x + 2\) and \(g(x)=x^2+1\)
Substituting the values in (1),
\((f\times g) (x)=(3x+2)\times (x^2+1)\)
Multiply term by term,
\((f\times g) (x)=3x^3+3x+2x^2+2\)
\((f\times g) (x)=3x^3+2x^2+3x+2\)
Therefore, The expression is equivalent to \((f\times g) (x)=3x^3+2x^2+3x+2\)
