Rosa just finished installing a small koi Pond in her backyard and now needs to re-sod. One side of the koi pond is 2 feet short
er than the other side. One side of the garden is three times the longer side of the koi pond The other side of the garden is 5 feet longer than the first side. How much psi does Rosa need to buy? K
1 answer:
The sketch of the garden and the pond is shown below
Area of garden = length × width
Area of garden = [3x + 5] × 3x
Area of garden = 3x[3x+5]
Area of garden = 9x² + 15x
Area of pond = [x-2] × x
Area of pond = x[x-2]
Area of pond = x² - 2x
Area to be re-sod = Area of garden - Area of pond
Area to be re-sod = 9x² + 15x - [x² - 2x]
Area to be re-sod = 9x² - x² + 15x + 2x
Area to be re-sod = 8x² + 17x
The amount of sod needed to be bought would depend on how much in each packaging they are being sold.

Answer:
x+5 (under assumption you meant to do -3x
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use long division.
Take the leading coefficient x^4 and divide it by x^3. This results in x which is going to be the first part of you quotient. Now take that x and multiply it by the divisor (x^3 - 3). This gives you x(x^3 - 3) = x^4 - 3x. Now subtract that x^4 - 3x from the original polynomial and repeat this until you can't divide anymore
