Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hg(x) means you multiply h(x) times g(x) and then we will set it equal to .
hg(x) = which simplifies to
. Now set that equal to
:
and get everything on the same side and factor:
. Factor by grouping:
and factor out what's common in each set of ( ):
which factors out to
. But
factors somoe to:
(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 So the solutions for this are
x = -1, 1
