Which polynomial expression represents the area of the outermost square tile, shown below? x2 + 6x + 6 x2 + 9x + 6 x2 + 6x + 9 x2 − 6x + 9
well the side length is x + 3 so the area is \[A= (x + 3)(x +3)....or.....(x + 3)^2\] just distribute..... its one of the lase 2 choices
can you explain me more i dont get it
well if you split it you get A = x(x + 3) + 3(x + 3) so distribute a dn 3... then collect like terms
The area of a square is s 2 , where s is the length of a side. This means the area of the given tile is (x+3) 2 . Expand the binomial.
so it would be (x+3)^2
oops distribute the x and the 3, then collect like terms
thats correct.... but you need to distribute
@gahm8684 yes
what do you mean
wait whats the answer still confusing
distribute this (x+3)(x+3)
yea that would be (x+3)^2
I know but you need to distribute it to get the answer bud
what does that mean:c!?
oohhh the answer is x^2+6x+9
split the 1st brackets to A = x(x + 3) + 3(x + 3) distribute this

@gahm8684 correct
Thanks
