Answer:

$x^2+15x+36$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is shown in the attachment.

The length of the rectangle is x + 12. The width of the rectangle is x + 3.

Recall that area of a rectangle is $Length \times Width$

In terms of x, the area is $(x+12)(x+3)$

Recall the distributive property of real numbers: $(a+b)(c+d)=a(c+d)+b(c+d)$

We apply this property to get:

$(x+12)(x+3)=x(x+3)+12(x+3)$

We expand again to get:

$(x+12)(x+3)=x^2+3x+12x+36$

We now simplify to obtain:

$(x+12)(x+3)=x^2+15x+36$

The area of the rectangle is $x^2+15x+36$

Based on the results from part C, which two statements correctly interpret actions the business should take? If material 2 is us

Serjik [45]

The profit function is the difference between the cost and the revenue functions.

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.

<h3>How to determine the true profit functions</h3>

From the complete questions, the profit functions are calculated as follows:

<u>Material 1</u>

$P(x) = 5000000- 20000x - 200000x + 2000x^2$

$P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

<u>Material 2</u>

$P(x) = 4000000 - 10000x - 160000x+ 1000x^2$

$P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

<u>Material 3</u>

$P(x) = 2000000 - 5000x - 54000x - 270x^2$

$P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

Next, we test the options

Option 1: When material 2 is used

A price is greater than $150 is $151.

Calculate P(151) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(151) = 4000000-170000 * 151+ 1000* 151^2$

$P(151) = 1131000$

P(151) is greater than 0; this represents a profit

Hence, option (1) is true

Option 2: When material 1 is used

A price is less than $50 is $49.

Calculate P(49) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(49) = 5000000-220000 * 49 + 2000* 49^2$

$P(49) =-978000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (2) is false

Option 3: When material 3 is used

Calculate P(45) and P(160) using $P(x) = 2000000 -59000x - 270x^2$

So, we have:

$P(45) = 2000000 -59000 * 45 - 270 * 45^2$

$P(45) = -1201750$

P(45) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (3) is false

Option 1: When material 2 is used

Calculate P(30) and P(120) using $P(x) = 4000000-170000x+ 1000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(30) = 4000000-170000*30+ 1000*30^2$

$P(30) = -200000$

P(30) is less than 0; this represents a loss

Hence, option (4) is false

Option 2: When material 1 is used

Calculate P(40) and P(70) using $P(x) = 5000000-220000x + 2000x^2$

So, we have:

$P(40) = 5000000-220000*40 + 2000*40^2$

$P(40) = -600000$

P(49) is less than 0; this represents loss

Hence, option (5) is false

The above means that:

The true statement is (a) If material 2 is used, Carrie will earn a profit if she sells chairs for more than $150 each.
