Question

Please help me with this question step by step. A rectangle has a width of 2x exponent 2 +4x+1) and a length of (8-x). What is the function for the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

A = (2x² + 4x + 1) (8 − x)

A = -2x³ + 12x² + 31x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

W = 2x² + 4x + 1

L = 8 − x

Area is width times length.

A = (2x² + 4x + 1) (8 − x)

If you wish, you can simplify with distribution.

A = 8 (2x² + 4x + 1) − x (2x² + 4x + 1)

A = 16x² + 32x + 8 − 2x³ − 4x² − x

A = -2x³ + 12x² + 31x + 8
