The first thing we must do for this case is multiply both functions: f (x) = 4x2 + 12 g (x) = x - 1 Multiplying we have: (f ⋅ g) (x) = (4x2 + 12) * (x - 1) We rewrite: (f ⋅ g) (x) = 4x3 - 4x2 + 12x - 12 We evaluate for x = 3: (f ⋅ g) (3) = 4 (3) 3 - 4 (3) 2 + 12 (3) - 12 (f ⋅ g) (3) = 96 Answer: (f ⋅ g) (3) = 96
