Answer:

$x^{4}$ + 3x³ - 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = lw ( l is the length and w the width ) , thus

A = (3x² - 2x - 1)(x² + x + 1)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, then

A = 3x²(x² + x + 1) - 2x(x² + x + 1) - 1(x² + x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis

= 3 $x^{4}$ + 3x³ + 3x² - 2 $x^{4}$ - 2x² - 2x - x² - x - 1 ← collect like terms

= $x^{4}$ + 3x³ - 3x - 1

What are the possible values of x in 8x2 + 4x = -1?

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The possible values of x are:

x= $\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18$

and

x= $\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x^2+4x+1=0$

Using Quadratic formula to solve this equation:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\a = 8 \,\, b = 4\,\, c = -1\\Putting \,\, values \,\, in \,\, the\,\, equation\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(8)(-1)}}{2(8)}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+32}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4+ \sqrt{48}}{16} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-4- \sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-1+ \sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-1- \sqrt{3}}{4}$
