Answer 1

Answer: D) -304

Step-by-Step Solution:

=> f(x) = 5x - 1
=> g(x) = 2x^2 + 1
=> Find value of (f * g)(-3)

First Substitute x as -3 in f(x) and g(x) :-

f(x) = 5x - 1
f(-3) = 5(-3) - 1
f(-3) = -15 - 1
=> f(-3) = -16

g(x) = 2x^2 + 1
g(-3) = 2(-3^2) + 1
g(-3) = 2(9) + 1
g(-3) = 18 + 1
=> g(-3) = 19

Now Multiply f(-3) with g(-3) :-

= f(-3) * g(-3)
= -16 * 19
=> -304

Therefore, (f * g)(-3) = -304
