Question 175166
1). Area of a Parallelogram: Find a trinomial A(x) that represents the area of a parallelogram whose base is 3x+2 meters and whose height is 2x+3 meters
A(x) = (3x+2)(2x+3) = 6x^2+13x+6. 
------------
Find A(3) = 6(3^2) + 13*3 + 6 = 54+39+6 = 99
--------------------------------------------------------
. 
2. Compound Semiannually: P dollars is invested at an annual interst rate r for 1 year. If the interest is compounded semiannually, then the polynomial 
P(1+(r/2))^2 represents the value of the investment after 1 year. Rewrite this expression without parentheses. Evaluate the Polynomial if P=$200 and r=10%.
A(t) = P[1 + r + (r/2)^2]

A(t) = 200[1 + 0.1 + (0.05)^2] = 200[1.1025] = $220.50
--------------------------------------------------------
 
3. Perimeter of a Rectangle: The peremeter of a rectanglar backyard is 6x+6 yards. If the width is x yards, find a binomial that represents the length.
------
perimeter = 6x+6
2(L+W) = 6x+6
L+W = 3x+3
L + x = 3x+3
L = 2x+3

4. Selling Shirts: If a vendor charges p dollars each for rugby shirts, then he expects to sell 2000-100p shirts at a tournament.
