Question

Given functions f(x) and g(x):

f (x) = x + 2

g(x) = x + 1/2

...what is the coefficient of the x term of f(x) · g(x)?
Find the coefficient for the x term of the answer to (fºg)(x). Write the answer as a fraction
(enter fractions write as a slash i.e. 1/2 for ) or as
a decimal. Do not include spaces in your response.
Type answer here. Be careful with spelling.

Answer 1

5/2

Explanation:

f*g = (x+2)(x+1/2) = x^2+5x/2+1

the x term is 5x/2, and the coefficent is 5/2
