Answer:
[tex](ab)(x)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question
a(x) = 2x - 4
b(x) = x + 2
Now we go through each options
First option
[tex](ab)(x)=(2x-4)(x+2)[/tex]
[tex]=2(x-2)(x+2)[/tex]
[tex]=2(x^2-4)[/tex]
[tex]=2x^2-8[/tex]
Second option
[tex]\dfrac{a}{b}(x)=\dfrac{2x-4}{x+2}[/tex]
Third option
[tex](a-b)(x)=(2x-4)-(x+2)[/tex]
[tex]=2x-4-x-2[/tex]
= x - 6
Fourth option
[tex](a+b)(x)=(2x-4)+(x+2)[/tex]
[tex]=2x-4+x+2[/tex]
= 3x - 2
As we can see from the above options only option A is correct i.e it only produced a quadric function
