Answer

Step 4: Rearrange the terms to have the highest degree first (fg)(x)=x2+2x+2

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Start by setting up the difference of the two functions using the formula (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)

Step 2 :Step 2: Substitute the functions into the formula (fg)(x)=(2x3)(x25)

Step 3 :Step 3: Simplify the expression (fg)(x)=2x3x2+5

Step 4 :Step 4: Rearrange the terms to have the highest degree first (fg)(x)=x2+2x+2
