Question

Can someone help me write this in polynomial in standard form ?✨

Answer 1

x² + 9x + 8

Explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, we want to multiply the length by the width.

First let's recognize the expressions of each side.

• the length is x + 8

• the width is x + 1

Let's multiply.

(x + 8)(x + 1)

FOIL: first – outer – inner – last

x² + x + 8x + 8

Simplify like terms.

x² + 9x + 8

This is your area.
