A rectangle has sides measuring (2x + 7) units and (5x + 9) units. Part A: What is the expression that represents the area of the rectangle? Show your work to receive full credit. (4 points) Part B: What are the degree and classification of the expression obtained in Part A? (3 points) Part C: How does Part A demonstrate the closure property for polynomials? (3 points)

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

Area = length into width Area = (2x+7)(5x+9) now you can solve this equation yourself if you need help you can ask me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand that part I was wondering do I have to combine like terms

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

yes, you have to combine these terms and then add the similar terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 7x+16 or do you use FOIL

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

Area = (2x+7)(5x+9) = 10x^2 + 18x + 35x + 63 = 10x^2 +53x +63 this is your answer for part A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

now for PArt B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confused on what the degree and classifications really are

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

would you tell me what is classification

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a reasoning for why you answer is correct?

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

the highest degree is 2

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

in our answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is two the degree and classification

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

yes Part C: closed under multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (haseeb96):

Welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cj49 what is the classification of part B?
