@Hero

hero (hero):

The formula for area of a rectangle is A = lw Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

hero (hero):

And in this case l = (3x^2 + x - 3) and w = (2x^3 - 4x + 3) , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hero (hero):

So this must mean that A = (3x^2 + x - 3)(2x^3 - 4x + 3) correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

NEVERMIND I GOT IT

hero (hero):

You do? What did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x^5+2x^4−18x^3+5x^2+15x−9

hero (hero):

How did you get that? Can you show the work you did to get that?
