Area = \frac{a X p}{2}
Area = apothem times perimeter over 2
Since its x + 3 we use -3
-3| 2 1 -8 21 (these are the # without the x)
___________________
-6 15 -21
-------------------------------
2 -5 7 0
Drag the 2 down, multiple it by -3 to get -6
1+(-6) = -5. -5 * -3 =15 . 15+(-8) = 7
7*-3 = -21. -21 +21 = 0
Since last # is 0 we have a factor.
factor is 2x^2 -5x -7 (we start with a power 1 less the original.)

Answer:27
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x 3 x 3
<span>[4b-4]+3-b^2]+2b^3 ;b=2
= </span><span>[4(2)-4]+3-2^2]+2(2^3)
=</span> [8-4] + 3 - 4]+2(8)
= [4 + 3 - 4]+2(8)
=3 + 16
=19
answer is <span>A. 19</span>
