The Product Of Two Functions :

Steps : 1. Write the equation based on the given functions

2. Substitute the given values of the function to the equation
3. Multiply the given functions horizontally or vertically by applying the laws of
exponents
4. Simplify the values to obtain the final answer.

Given two functions f and g , their product is defined by the equation

( f * g ) (x) = f (x) * g(x)

Examples : Find the products of the following functions given the following :

f (x) = x - 5
g (x) = 2x + 3
P (x) = x2 + 5x + 4
h (x) = x2 - 7x + 8
G (x) = 5x

a) G * f

( G * f ) (x) = G (x) * f (x)

( G * f ) (x) = 5x ( x – 5 )
( G * f ) (x) = 5x2 - 25x

b) f * g

( f * g ) (x) = f (g) * g (x)

( f * g ) (x) = (x - 5) (2x + 3)
( f * g ) (x) = 2x2 + 3x - 10x - 15
( f * g ) (x) = 2x2 - 7x - 15

c) g * h

( g * h ) (x) = g (x) * h (x)

( g * h ) (x) = ( 2x + 3 ) (x2 - 7x + 8 )
( g * h ) (x) = 2x3 - 14x2 + 16x + 3x2 - 21x + 24
( g * h ) (x) = 2x3 - 11x2 - 5x + 24
