Answer 3

Well, I am mostly confused on how to multiply two functions together. I have f(x)= 2x-5, and g(x)=2-x. My teacher didn't explain how to multiply them so I was wondering if it is the same as compositing them,

Answer 4

Multiply the expressions for the two functions.
In this case, (2x-5)(2-x).
