Answer

$(a)f(4)+g(4)=18$ $(b)f(x)+g(x)=2x^2-2x+4$ $(c)f(4)g(4)= 0$ $(d)f(x)g(x)=10x^3-39x^2+44x-12 $

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=5x-2$ $g(x)=2x^2-7x+6$ (a) $f(4)=5(4)-2=18$ $g(4)=2(2^2)-7(2)+6=0$ $f(4)+g(4)=18+0=18$ (b) $f(x)+g(x)=5x-2+2x^2-7x+6$ $f(x)+g(x)=2x^2+5x-7x-2+6$ $f(x)+g(x)=2x^2-2x+4$ (c) $f(4)g(4)=18\cdot 0=0$ (d) $f(x)g(x)=(5x-2)(2x^2-7x+6)$ $f(x)g(x)=5x(2x^2-7x+6)-2(2x^2-7x+6) $ $f(x)g(x)=10x^3-35x^2+30x-4x^2+14x-12 $ $f(x)g(x)=10x^3-35x^2-4x^2+30x+14x-12 $ $f(x)g(x)=10x^3-39x^2+44x-12 $
