The area of a rectangular athletic field is represented by the expression 16x^7+32y^5+80y^3 square meters.  Write an algebraic expression to represent one possible set of dimensions (in the sense "length times width") of the altheletic field

amistre64 · Answer

where did you pull this from?

amistre64 · Answer

this is one of those feilds where you can run across multi diminsions and end up at the goal posts of both sides lol

anonymous · Answer

I am studying factoring polynomials right now
do you think I should just factor the expression?

amistre64 · Answer

it couldnt hurt, but i got no idea where youd even start at

anonymous · Answer

If that is the given area for the rectangular and its asking me to write an expression to represent one possible set of dimensions of the field??

amistre64 · Answer

16x^7+32y^5+80y^3  /2

8 32 40  / 2

4 16 20  /2

2 8 10  /2

1 4 5 .... 2^4 comes out at least

16(x^7 +2y^5 + 5y^3)

amistre64 · Answer

that would be the most i could make of it if we are looking to have a L and a W ...

but i gots no idea if its what the problem is wanting

anonymous · Answer

me too....oh well thanks a bunch for your time:)

good luck :)

mertsj · Answer

$$16x ^{7}+32y ^{5}+80y ^{3}=16(x ^{7}+2y ^{5}+5y ^{3})$$

mertsj · Answer

That is one possible set of dimensions.  If I were you I would check and make sure I have the variables right.  Were they possibly all y's or all x's?
