You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given f(x) = (x+1) and g(x) = (2x-3), find f*g(11/2).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since (f*g)(x) = f(x) * g(x), then:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(f*g)(x) = (x+1) * (2x-3).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you are looking for (f*g)(11/2), the you just replace x with 11/2 and you get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(f*g)(11/2) = (11/2+1) * (2(11/2)-3) which becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(f*g)(11/2) = (13/2) * (16/2) = 52\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you could also have solved it using x and then evaluated it using x = 11/2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(f*g)(x) = (x+1)*(2x-3) = 2x^2 -3x + 2x - 6 = 2x^2 - x - 3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when x = 11/2, this becomes 2*(11/2)^2 - (11/2) - 3 which is equal to 52.\r
