A 3-ft by 6-ft picnic table is placed on an outdoor patio measuring x ft by (x + 3) ft.
\n" ); document.write( " Find a polynomial for the remaining open space on the patio (in square feet).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3 * 6 = 18 sq/ft is the table
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = x(x+3) - 18
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 18 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
