Answer

(fg)(x)=4x+7 is the difference of the functions f and g, and the domain is {xx is any real number}.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the functions f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=7x6.

Step 2 :We are asked to find the difference of the functions f and g, which is given by (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x).

Step 3 :Subtracting the expression for g(x) from the expression for f(x), we get (fg)(x)=4x+7.

Step 4 :The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. Since both f and g are linear functions, they are defined for all real numbers.

Step 5 :Therefore, the domain of (fg)(x) is all real numbers.

Step 6 :(fg)(x)=4x+7 is the difference of the functions f and g, and the domain is {xx is any real number}.
