Answer:


  • \boxed{ f\cdot{g}(x) = x {}^(3) - x {}^(2)}

Step by step explanation:

Given that,


f(x) = {x}^(2)


g(x) = x - 1

Solution:

Solving for (f•g)(x):


= f(x) \cdot g(x)

Now substitute the given values.


= x {}^(2) \cdot(x - 1)


= x {}^(2) (x - 1)

Apply distributive property:


= (x ^(2) \cdot x) - x {}^(2) \cdot 1


  • \boxed{ f\cdot{g}(x) = x {}^(3) - x {}^(2)}

Hence,f•g(x) will be
x {}^(3) - x {}^(2).
