Documenting the Total Cost Function Computation

As an operations trainee, you are responsible for documenting the math behind a new business forecasting model. The model calculates total projected expenses by multiplying a localized adjustment factor, f(x)=x7f(x) = x - 7, and a baseline production curve, g(x)=x2+8x+4g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4. To help future team members understand the system, write a clear, step-by-step explanation of how to multiply these two functions to find (fg)(x)(f \cdot g)(x). Be sure to state the initial setup, the expanded polynomial before simplification, and the final simplified expression.
