Question

The width of a rectangle is modeled by the function w(x) = 3x – 6, and the length of the rectangle is modeled by the function l(x) = 5x + 7. How can the functions be combined to find a function, a(x), that models the area of the rectangle?
a(x) = 8x + 1
a(x) = 16x + 2
a(x) = 15x2 – 9x – 42
a(x) = 30x2 – 18x – 84

Answer 1

Answer:

15x^2 - 9x - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+6)(5x+7)

15x^2 +21x - 30x -42

15x^2 - 9x - 42
