Question

A company distributes free candies to all the students of x schools. Each school has (x + 1) classes. The number of students in each class is 3 more than the number of classes in each school. Each student is given 4 candies.

Part A: Write an expression to show the total number of candies distributed by the company in x schools. (4 points)

Part B: What would x(x + 1) represent? When simplified, what would be the degree and classification of this expression? (4 points)

Part C: How can you calculate the total number of students in each school? (2 points)

Answer 1

Part A:So the total number of candies is given 4 each to x+4 students in x+1 classes in x schools.
total number of candies = 4(x+4)(x+1)x

Part B: x is the number schools
x+1 is the number of classes in each school
x(x+1) would represent the total number of classes all taken together.
When simplified x(x+1) = x^2+1 which is a second degree polynomial.

Answer 6

To calculate the total number of students, you would use the expression without the candy part. So x(x+1)(x+4)
