Just set it equal to zero and solve using the quadratic equation.
f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 1
(f × g)(x) = (5x − 1)(2x^2 + 1)
(f × g)(x) = 10x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 1
Substitute x = - 3
(f × g)(-3) = 10(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 + 5(-3) - 1
(f × g)(-3) = 10(-27) - 2(9) -15 - 1
(f × g)(-3) =-270 - 18 - 16
(f × g)(-3) = -236
Answer
- 236
The Lesser Sooty Owl is a strictly nocturnal bird. Hides & sleeps during the day in dense foliage, between tangles of aerial roots, in all kinds of crevices, or beneath overhanging banks. Hunts in clearings and near roads, but also inside forest.
X= 1 y=4, x=2 y=8, x=3 y=12
