Answer

Error: The functions were added. CORRECT ANSWER $f(x)g(x)=21x^2-46x-80 $

Work Step by Step

The product of polynomials is not correct. The student has committed the error in adding the two functions instead of multiplying them. CORRECT METHOD $f(x)g(x)=(3x-10)(7x+8)$ $f(x)g(x)=3x(7x+8) -10(7x+8) $ $f(x)g(x)=21x^2+24x-70x-80 $ $f(x)g(x)=21x^2-46x-80 $
