Answer:

h(x) = 6x² - 10x - 4

Explanation:

h(x) = f(x) g(x)

= (2x - 4)(3x + 1)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x(3x + 1) - 4(3x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis

= 6x² + 2x - 12x - 4 ← collect like terms

= 6x² - 10x - 4

that is h(x) = 6x² - 10x - 4
