Question

he area of a rectangular athletic field is represented by the expression 15x5 - 75y3 + 30xy square meters. Write an algebraic expression to represent one possible set of dimensions (in the sense “length times width”) of the athletic field. Include correct units with your solution

Answer 1

What course is it?

Answer 2

algebra, polynomials

Answer 3

Are you sure the problem is right?

Answer 4

yes, copied and pasting below,

Answer 5

Do you have any sample or example ?

Answer 6

I don't think it possible to solve applying algebra level!

Answer 7

no, i actually worked it out, it's throwing me off by saying (in the sense “length times width”)

Answer 8

See, that's where I say impossible! because they can't be factored!

Answer 9

If this problem from the book, I'd say it's typo!
If this problem from somebody, I'd say they trick you!

Answer 10

lol... thanks, I will send what I have. this was impossible

Answer 11

In level of algebra, all you can do is factor 15 [x (x^4 -2y ) - 5y^3]!

Answer 12

In the sense of polynomial factor, not length -width factor.

Answer 13

Do you agree?

Answer 14

yes totally

Answer 15

It's probably the author got dizzy, so his phrase not really correct as he meant :P
