Answer

Combining like terms, we get h(x)=6x211x10.

Steps

Step 1 :The product of two functions f(x) and g(x) is given by h(x)=f(x)g(x).

Step 2 :Substitute f(x)=3x+2 and g(x)=2x5 into the above formula, we get h(x)=(3x+2)(2x5).

Step 3 :Using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we expand the above expression: h(x)=3x2x3x5+22x25.

Step 4 :This simplifies to h(x)=6x215x+4x10.

Step 5 :Combining like terms, we get h(x)=6x211x10.
