For this case we have the following functions: f (x) = 2x2 - 10 g (x) = x + 9 Evaluating both functions for x = 2 we have: f (2) = 2 (2) ^ 2 - 10 = 8 - 10 = -2 g (2) = (2) + 9 = 2 + 9 = 11 Then, multiplying both functions we have: (f ⋅ g) (2) = (-2) (11) (f ⋅ g) (2) = -22 Answer: the correct answer below is: -22
