Question

Let f(x) = -2x - 7 and g(x) = -4x + 6. Find (fxg)(-5). a. -59 b. 3 c. 26 d. -6

Answer 1

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

The given functions are:

$f(x) = - 2x - 7$

and

$g(x) = - 4x + 6$

$(f \times g)(x) = f(x) \times g(x)$

$(f \times g)(x) = ( - 2x - 7)( - 4x + 6)$

When we plug in x=-5, we get:

$(f \times g)( - 5) = ( - 4 \times - 5 + 6)( - 2 \times - 5 - 7)$

$(f \times g)( - 5) = ( 20 + 6)( 10 - 7)$

$(f \times g)(5) = ( 26)( 3) =7 8$
