For questions 1 - 3, use the given rectangle to:
a) Write an expression for the area
b) Represent the area as a polynomial
(Just pretend there is a rectangle in each question!)
1) 3x + 2
2x - 1
2) 5x - 2
x + 4
3) 2n + 7
n - 3
I'll do the first one, GM....see if you can do the last two.....
a) 3x + 2 ) (2x - 1) =
3x * 2x + 2*2x - 1*3x + 2 * (-1) =
6x^2 + 4x - 3x - 2 =
b) 6x^2 - x - 2 = the area
