Answer:To find (f × g)(x), we need to find the product of the two functions f(x) and g(x), which is written as:

(f × g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

First, let's find g(x):

g(x) = 2x³ - 4

Next, we'll substitute this into the expression for (f × g)(x):

(f × g)(x) = f(x) × g(x)

= (x² - 2x + 4) × (2x³ - 4)

We can simplify this by distributing the terms:

= 2x³ (x² - 2x + 4) - 4 (x² - 2x + 4)

= 2x⁵ - 4x³ + 8x³ - 4x² + 8x - 16

Simplifying further:

(f × g)(x) = 2x⁵ - 4x³ - 4x² + 8x - 16

Therefore, (f × g)(x) = 2x⁵ - 4x³ - 4x² + 8x - 16.
