this is just a multiplication of the 2 functions.
that means we multiply the functional expressions, and the result is the new functional expression of the multiplied functions.
2(3x - 5) × (-2x + 1) = (6x - 10) × (-2x + 1) =
= 6x×-2x + 6x×1 + -10×-2x + -10×1 =
= -12x² + 6x + 20x - 10 = -12x² + 26x - 10

the domain of a function is the interval or set of all valid x values (or input values).
the range is the interval or set of all valid y or functional result values.
so, for the domain we need to see what values x may have for a 4th root.
for this we can imagine that a 4th root is the square root of the square root of x.
this is directly related to x⁴ being the square of the square of x.
the valid input values for a square root are all positive numbers (incl. 0). the result will be again a positive number (incl. 0), which is again a valid input number for the second square root.
therefore, the valid values of x for a 4th root are also the valid values for a square root. and vice versa.
and that is
0 <= x < infinity
FYI : we can never say x = infinity, because infinity is not a number, just a generation concept. so, infinity can never be included in any interval, it can only be listed as an excluded limit concept.
