Step-by-step explanation: TCB

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{(f\cdot g)(x)=-16x^3+10x^2-14x}`

Explanation:

`f(x)=-2x\\\\g(x)=8x^2-5x+7\\\\(f\cdot g)(x)=f(x)\cdot g(x)\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\(f\cdot g)(x)=(-2x)(8x^2-5x+7)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(f\cdot g)(x)=(-2x)(8x^2)+(-2x)(-5x)+(-2x)(7)\\\\(f\cdot g)(x)=-16x^3+10x^2-14x`
