The function f(x)= x+3 represents the length of a rectangle. the function g(x)=12x-5 represents the width of the rectangle. use (f • g)(3) to determine the area of the rectangle.

(f • g)(3) = 186

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is (length)(width).

Here, (length) = x + 3 and (width) = 12x - 5, and so the area as a function of x is

(f • g)(x) = (x + 3)(12x - 5) = 12x^2 - 5x + 36x - 15.

This simplifies to:

(f • g)(x) = (x + 3)(12x - 5) = 12x^2 + 31x - 15.

Evaluating this function at x = 3, as instructed, we get:

 (f • g)(3) = (12)( - 5) = 12(3)^2 + 31(3) - 15.

Carrying out the indicated operations, we get:  108 + 93 - 15, or

(f • g)(3) = 186
