Answer

\(\boxed{(g \cdot h)(3) = 144}\)

Steps

Step 1 :\((g+h)(x) = g(x) + h(x)\)

Step 2 :Substitute \(g(x) = 6x\) and \(h(x) = 3x - 1\) into the equation:

Step 3 :\((g+h)(x) = 6x + (3x - 1) = 9x - 1\)

Step 4 :\((g-h)(x) = g(x) - h(x)\)

Step 5 :Substitute \(g(x) = 6x\) and \(h(x) = 3x - 1\) into the equation:

Step 6 :\((g-h)(x) = 6x - (3x - 1) = 3x + 1\)

Step 7 :\((g \cdot h)(3)\) is obtained by multiplying the functions \(g(3)\) and \(h(3)\).

Step 8 :Substitute \(g(3) = 6*3 = 18\) and \(h(3) = 3*3 - 1 = 8\) into the equation:

Step 9 :\((g \cdot h)(3) = g(3) \cdot h(3) = 18 \cdot 8 = 144\)

Step 10 :So, the final results are:

Step 11 :\(\boxed{(g+h)(x) = 9x - 1}\)

Step 12 :\(\boxed{(g-h)(x) = 3x + 1}\)

Step 13 :\(\boxed{(g \cdot h)(3) = 144}\)
