The product of the two functions √(3x) and √(48x) is computed by multiplying them to get √(144x^2), which simplifies to 12x. Therefore, the correct answer is C. (f · g)(x) = 12x.
The problem is to find the product of two functions f(x) and g(x), which are defined as f(x) = √(3x) and g(x) = √(48x) respectively. To solve for (f · g)(x), we must multiply the two functions together:
(f · g)(x) = f(x) · g(x) = √(3x) · √(48x) = √(3 · 48 · x · x) = √(144x^2).
Now, we notice that 144 is a perfect square, so taking the square root of 144x^2 gives us the final answer:
(f · g)(x) = 12x
Therefore, the correct choice is C. (f · g)(x) = 12x.
