Calculate f(3) and g(3) separately, by substituting the value of 3 instead of x into each function.
Then multiply two integer numbers, which you get for each function.
That's all. There is nothing easier than that in Algebra.
Do not calculate the product of two polynomials, since it is unnecessary excessive work.
