Question

Help,

A greenhouse that specializes in growing geraniums is divided into sections. The number of geranium pots in each section depends on the number of sprinklers in that section.

There are x(7x − 2) pots of red geraniums and (x + 3)2 pots of pink geraniums in a section with x sprinklers.

Which simplified expression represents the total number of red and pink geranium pots in a section with x sprinklers?

8x2 + 4x + 9
8x2 + 6x + 9
8x2 + 6x + 7
8x4 + 4x2 + 9

Answer 1

are there any exponents

Answer 2

Yeah I think so

Answer 3

u can show them with ^ for example 3^2 2 is the exponent

Answer 4

(x+3)^2 is one, and there's ones in the answer equations

Answer 5

well ok

Answer 6

lets simplify eachequation for
(x+3)^2
^2 ^2
x^2+9
for the other one
x(7x-2)
*x *x
7x^2-2x

Answer 7

Alright

Answer 8

Now what?

Answer 9

now add like terms (x^2+9)+(7x^2-2x)
8x^4+4x2+9

Answer 10

so D
