Understanding Function Multiplication

The video tutorial explains how to find the product of two functions, f(x) and g(x). It begins by defining the functions and explaining the notation for their product, f times g of x. The tutorial then demonstrates how to substitute the definitions of f(x) and g(x) into the product and multiply the expressions using the distributive property. The process involves breaking down the multiplication into smaller steps and simplifying the resulting expression. The tutorial concludes by confirming the final simplified expression as the product of the two functions.

What is the expression for f(x) given in the video?

• x^3 - 4x

• x^3 + 4x

• 7x - 5

• 7x + 5
