Question
Use the information about values of the functions and their derivatives to calculate \( G'(2) \), where \( G(x) = x \cdot g(x) \cdot f(x) \).

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
f(2) & f'(2) & g(2) & g'(2) \\ \hline
8 & -12 & 14 & -5 \\ \hline
\end{array}
\]

(Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)

\[
G'(2) = -5 \quad\text{(In the red box)}
\]

### Explanation of the Problem

The table provided gives values for the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) and their derivatives at \( x = 2 \). Use these values to find \( G'(2) \) for the function \( G(x) = x \cdot g(x) \cdot f(x) \).

### Solution Steps

1. **Define the Function \( G(x) \):**
   \( G(x) = x \cdot g(x) \cdot f(x) \)

2. **Apply the Product Rule:**
   To find \( G'(x) \), apply the product rule: \( (u \cdot v \cdot w)' = u' \cdot v \cdot w + u \cdot v' \cdot w + u \cdot v \cdot w' \), where \( u = x \), \( v = g(x) \), and \( w = f(x) \).

3. **Differentiate Middle Functions:**
   - \( u = x \rightarrow u' = 1 \)
   - \( v = g(x) \rightarrow v' = g'(x) \)
   - \( w = f(x) \rightarrow w' = f'(x) \)

   So,
   \[
   G'(x) = (x \cdot g(x) \cdot f(x))' = 1 \cdot g(x) \cdot f(x) + x \cdot g'(x) \cdot f(x) + x \cdot g(x) \cdot f'(x)
   \]

4. **Substitute Given Values:**
   - \( f(2) = 8
