f(x)=x4+x3-11x2-5x+30f(x)=x4+x3−11x2−5x+30 , g(x)=2x-2g(x)=2x−2
Step 1
Replace the function designators with the actual functions in f(x)g(x)f(x)g(x).
x4+x3-11x2-5x+302x-2x4+x3−11x2−5x+302x−2
Step 2
Step 2.1
Factor 22 out of 2x2x.
x4+x3-11x2-5x+302(x)-2x4+x3−11x2−5x+302(x)−2
Step 2.2
Factor 22 out of -2−2.
x4+x3-11x2-5x+302(x)+2(-1)x4+x3−11x2−5x+302(x)+2(−1)
Step 2.3
Factor 22 out of 2(x)+2(-1)2(x)+2(−1).
