Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
(fg)(x) = f(x) × g(x)
= (x - 8)(x² + x - 1)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
x(x² + x - 1) - 8(x² + x - 1) ← distribute both parenthesis
= x³ + x² - x - 8x² - 8x + 8 ← collect like terms
= x³ - 7x² - 9x + 8 → A
There are no restrictions on the domain.

Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
