Question

a painter must add the areas of two walls to determine the amount of paint needed the area of the First wall is modeled by 4x^2+12x+9 and the area of the second wall is modeled by 36x^2-12x+1. Write a polynomial that represents the total area of the two walls.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

First wall Area= 4x^2 + 12x + 9

Second wall Area = 36x^2 - 12x + 1

So, we need to add the first polynomial with the second one.

(4x^2 + 12x + 9) + (36x^2 - 12x + 1)

Rearranging similar terms:

4x^2 + 36x^2 + 12x -12x + 9 + 1

Adding similar terms:

40x^2 + 10 = Total Area of the two walls
