Answer

a.$\quad p(x)=(x-1)\sqrt{x+10}$ b.$\quad [-10,0)$ c.$\quad-14$

Work Step by Step

$a.$ $p=fg$ is the function specified by $p(x)=f(x)g(x)$. $p(x)=(x-1)\sqrt{x+10}$ $b.$ See "Note on Domains" p.70-71 Domain of $f+g, f-g$, and $fg$: All real numbers $x$ simultaneously in the domains of f and $g$ Here, the domain of u is contained in the domain of g, so Domain: $[-10,0)$ $c.$ $p(-6)=(-6-1)\sqrt{-6+10}=(-7)\sqrt{4}=-7(2)=-14$
