Evaluating $(f \cdot g)(2)$ for $f(x) = x - 5$ and $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$

A project analyst needs to determine the total revenue function by multiplying the sales volume $f(x) = x - 5$ and the profit per unit $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$. Arrange the steps below in the correct order to find the simplified product function $(f \cdot g)(x)$.

A production manager at a manufacturing company uses the function $f(x) = x - 5$ to represent the number of batches produced and $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$ to represent the material cost per batch. The total material cost is given by the product function $C(x) = (f \cdot g)(x)$. Which of the following is the simplified expression for the total material cost function $C(x)$?

A manufacturing engineer models the total output of a production line where $x$ represents the hours of operation. The number of units processed is $f(x) = x - 5$ and the efficiency per unit is $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$. True or False: The simplified product function that represents the total output is $(f \cdot g)(x) = x^3 - 7x^2 + 13x - 15$.

A corporate analyst models a company's resource allocation using the functions $f(x) = x - 5$ for the number of departments and $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$ for the budget per department. The total budget function is the product $(f \cdot g)(x)$. In the simplified polynomial version of this total budget function, the coefficient of the $x^2$ term is ____.

A financial analyst in your company is calculating a projected revenue model by multiplying the units sold function $f(x) = x - 5$ by the price function $g(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3$. To find the overall product $(f \cdot g)(x)$, the analyst must distribute each term in $f(x)$ to each term in $g(x)$ before combining like terms. Match each specific distribution step below to its correctly recalled resulting term.
