Question 336049: A 3' by 6' picnic table is placed on a outdoor patio measuring x' by x+3'. Find a polynomial for the remaining open space on the patio. How would I write this out? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
First let's find the area of the patio. It will be:
x(x+3) rewritten as:
x^2+3x
Now find the area of the picnic table.
3 times 6 is:
18
So we subtract 18 from x^2+3x to look like this:
x^2+3x-18
OK there is the polynomial.
Make sense?
