<em>f</em> • <em>g</em> denotes the product of <em>f</em> and <em>g</em>, so that
Without computing the whole product, just look at the first terms, . This tells you that <em>f </em>• <em>g</em> is quadratic, and its graph is a stretched parabola that opens downward.
You can treat the product <em>g</em> • <em>s</em> similarly:
The leading term is , so the graph should resemble a stretched cubic curve reflected across the <em>x</em> axis.
