To find the function h(x) defined as h(x) = f(x) * g(x), we first need to define the given functions:
- f(x) = x² + x
- g(x) = 3x
Now, substituting these functions into the equation for h(x):
h(x) = f(x) * g(x)
= (x² + x) * (3x)
Next, we distribute (3x) across the terms in (x² + x):
h(x) = 3x(x²) + 3x(x)
= 3x³ + 3x²
Therefore, the function h(x) is:
h(x) = 3x³ + 3x²
We can simplify this further by factoring out the common term:
h(x) = 3x²(x + 1)
So, the final result for the function h(x) is:
h(x) = 3x²(x + 1)
This completes our calculation of the function h(x).
