What is the product of the functions f(x)=x2 and g(x)=x−8 ?

I'm going to assume that f(x) = x^2. f(x)*g(x):
x^2(x - 8) --> Apply the distrubutive property
x^3 - 8x^2
The product of f(x) - x^2 and g(x) = x - 8 is x^2 - 8x^2

Answer:

[tex]x^3-8x^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two functions. We are asked to find the product of both functions.

[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=x-8[/tex]

[tex]f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^2(x-8)[/tex]

Now, we will use distributive property as:

[tex]f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^2\cdot x-x^2\cdot 8[/tex]

[tex]f(x)\cdot g(x)=x^3-8x^2[/tex]

Therefore, the product of our given functions would be [tex]x^3-8x^2[/tex].
