Question 564023: A large area of an art classroom has an area of 3x^2 + 9x. What is the possible length and width? How do you know. Is that the only possible answer? Why?
(3x^2 meaning 3x squared)
Thank you

Perhaps x and 3x+9. Of course that is not the only possible set of dimensions, we could have 1 and 3x^2 + 9x or L and (3x^2 + 9x)/L.

Update: There are many correct answers. 3x and x+3 work, as well as 9 and (x^3)/3 + 1, anything that multiplies to 3x^2 + 9x. Check the ones that I posted earlier, and you'll see that they work.
