Answer

Step 6: Solve for x to get the roots of the equation.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: First, we need to find the expression for h(x)=f(x)g(x). This is done by subtracting the function g(x) from f(x). So, h(x)=(x23x+2)(x2+5x6).

Step 2 :Step 2: Simplify h(x) to get h(x)=2x28x+8.

Step 3 :Step 3: To find the roots of h(x), we need to solve the equation h(x)=0, i.e., 2x28x+8=0.

Step 4 :Step 4: Divide every term by 2 to simplify the equation. We get x24x+4=0.

Step 5 :Step 5: This is a perfect square trinomial. So, (x2)2=0.

Step 6 :Step 6: Solve for x to get the roots of the equation.
