Answer: (f⋅g)(1) = 10.

Explanation:

To find (f⋅g)(x), we need to multiply the two functions f(x) and g(x) together. This can be done by multiplying each term of f(x) by each term of g(x), and then combining like terms. We get:

(f⋅g)(x) = f(x) * g(x)

= (-7x+3) * (3x^2 - 4x - 1)

= -21x^3 + 28x^2 + x - 3x^2 + 4x + 1

= -21x^3 + 25x^2 + 5x + 1

To find (f⋅g)(1), we can substitute x=1 into the expression for (f⋅g)(x):

(f⋅g)(1) = -21(1)^3 + 25(1)^2 + 5(1) + 1

= -21 + 25 + 5 + 1

= 10

Therefore, (f⋅g)(1) = 10.
