Question

The length off a swimming pool cover is (2x+1), the width is (x+8). Find the area of the swimming pool as a polynomial in standard form

Answer 1

The area of the pool is equal to the length times the width. Substitute the given values to create a polynomial. Then, either distribute or use a value table to multiply the terms. Then, simplify like terms and place the terms in the order of standard form. (2x^2+17x+8)
