Question

What is the product of the functions f(x)=x2 and g(x)=x−8 ?

Answer 1

I'm going to assume that f(x) = x^2. f(x)*g(x):
x^2(x - 8) --> Apply the distrubutive property
x^3 - 8x^2
The product of f(x) - x^2 and g(x) = x - 8 is x^2 - 8x^2

Answer 2

`x^3-8x^2`

Explanation:

We have been given two functions. We are asked to find the product of both functions.

`f(x)=x^2` and
`g(x)=x-8`

`f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^2(x-8)`

Now, we will use distributive property as:

`f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^2\cdot x-x^2\cdot 8`

`f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^3-8x^2`

Therefore, the product of our given functions would be
`x^3-8x^2`.
