F(x) = x +4
g(x) = 3x^2 – 7
Find (f. g)(x)

(f*g)(x) = 3x³+12x²-7x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

What (f*g)(x) means is that we multiply f(x) by g(x):

f(x) = x+4

g(x) = 3x²-7

(f*g)(x) = f(x)*g(x) = (x+4)(3x²-7) = (x)(3x²)+(x)(-7)+(4)(3x²)+(4)(-7) = 3x³-7x+12x²-28 = 3x³+12x²-7x-28

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
