Evaluating $(f \cdot g)(2)$ for $f(x) = x - 7$ and $g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4$

A business analyst is modeling a company's total revenue function, $(f \cdot g)(x)$, where $x$ represents the number of units sold. If the growth factor is represented by $f(x) = x - 7$ and the revenue-per-unit is represented by $g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4$, which of the following is the correct simplified expression for the total revenue function?

A supply chain analyst is determining a projected cost model by calculating $(f \cdot g)(x)$ where the baseline adjustment is $f(x) = x - 7$ and the variable rate is $g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4$. Arrange the standard procedural steps required to recall and execute this polynomial multiplication from start to finish.

A financial analyst is developing a cost model using the functions $f(x) = x - 7$ and $g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4$. The analyst determines that the simplified product function $(f \cdot g)(x)$, which represents the total projected cost, is $x^3 + x^2 - 52x - 28$. Is the analyst's determination correct?

A logistics analyst is modeling the total performance of a distribution center using the product function $(f \cdot g)(x)$, where $f(x) = x - 7$ represents the shift duration factor and $g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 4$ represents the throughput rate. Based on the standard procedure for multiplying these polynomials, match each part of the calculation with its corresponding mathematical expression.
