Question

homework

1.) given that \\(f(x) = 2x + 1\\), \\(g(x) = x^2\\)
find \\((f \cdot g)(x)\\) b) \\((g \cdot f)(x)\\)

2.) if \\(f(x) = 3x - 4\\) and \\(g(x) = x + 2\\) find \\((f \cdot g)(5)\\)

Explanation:

Find the product function (f * g)(x)

$$ (f \cdot g)(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) = (2x + 1)(x^2) = 2x^3 + x^2 $$

Find the composite function (g o f)(x)

$$ (g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = (2x + 1)^2 = 4x^2 + 4x + 1 $$

Evaluate the product function (f * g)(5)

Answer:

Question 1

a) \((f \cdot g)(x) = 2x^3 + x^2\)
b) \((g \circ f)(x) = 4x^2 + 4x + 1\)

Question 2

\((f \cdot g)(5) = 77\)
