If f(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = x − 3, what is (fg)(x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² − x − 6

In the algebra of functions, juxtaposition in (fg)(x) denotes the product f(x)g(x), whereas composition would normally be written with a symbol such as f∘g. Therefore, (fg)(x) = (x + 2)(x − 3). Applying the distributive property gives x·x + x(−3) + 2x + 2(−3) = x² − 3x + 2x − 6. Combining like terms, −3x + 2x = −x, so the result is x² − x − 6. Option A is correct. Option B has the wrong sign for the linear term. Options C and D arise from incorrect multiplication or sign handling. Recognizing multiplication rather than composition is the key interpretive step.
