Question
**Mathematical Problem Description:**

Show that \( f(x) = O(|x - x_0|^k) \) and \( g(x) = o(|x - x_0|^j) \) imply \( f \cdot g(x) = o(|x - x_0|^{k+j}) \).

**Explanation:**

In this problem, we are asked to demonstrate a relationship involving the asymptotic notation Big O and little o. Specifically, it states:

- \( f(x) = O(|x - x_0|^k) \): This means that the function \( f(x) \) is bounded by a constant multiple of \(|x - x_0|^k\) for values of \(x\) near \(x_0\).

- \( g(x) = o(|x - x_0|^j) \): This indicates that the function \( g(x) \) grows much slower than \(|x - x_0|^j\) as \(x\) approaches \(x_0\).

The goal is to prove that the product \( f \cdot g(x) \) behaves asymptotically like \( o(|x - x_0|^{k+j}) \). This means that the growth rate of the product is negligible compared to \(|x - x_0|^{k+j}\) when \(x\) is near \(x_0\).
