question 67

Multiple Choice

Given the polynomial functions, find the product function and the specified value.
-Let $f ( x ) = x + 6$ and $g ( x ) = x - 11$ . Find $( f g ) ( x )$ and $( f g ) ( 2 )$ .

• A) \(( f g ) ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 5 x - 66 ; ( f g ) ( 2 ) = - 72\)
• B) \(( f g ) ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } + 5 x - 66 ; ( f g ) ( 2 ) = - 52\)
• C) \(( \mathrm { fg } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } + 17 \mathrm { x } + 66 ; ( \mathrm { fg } ) ( 2 ) = 104\)
• D) \(( \mathrm { fg } ) ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - 5 \mathrm { x } + 66 ; ( \mathrm { fg } ) ( 2 ) = 60\)
