Question 3 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

If m(x) = x2 + 3 and n(x) = 5x + 9, which expression is equivalent to (mn)(x)?

Answer
A
5x3 + 9x2 + 15x + 27
B
25x2 + 90x + 84
C
x2 + 5x + 12
D
5x2 + 24

Explanation

The notation (mn)(x) means multiply the functions: m(x)n(x) = (x² + 3)(5x + 9). Distribute each term: 5x³ + 9x² + 15x + 27. This matches choice A.
