#(f*g)(x)=-2(15x^2-14x+3), x in RR#.

Let #D_f and D_g# be the domains of the given funs. #f and g#, resp.

We can easily see that, #D_f=D_g=RR#

Now, by defn. the fun. #f*g# is defined by, #(f*g)(x)=f(x)*g(x)#,

where, #x in D_f nn D_g#.

Since, #D_f nnD_g=RR#, we have, #(f*g) : RR rarr RR, where,

#(f*g)(x)=f(x)*g(x)=(-5x+3)(6x-2)=-30x^2+10x+18x-6=-30x^2+28x-6#.

Thus, #(f*g)(x)=-2(15x^2-14x+3), x in RR#.
