Question

Write a polynomial in standard form that represents the area of the shaded region

Answer 1

`(x+1)^(2) - (x-7)(5)`

Explanation:

The formula for Area of a square is
`A=a^(2)`

Due to this we figure out our first equation:
`(x+1)^(2)`

Then we have the inner part and that equation is (second equation):
`(x-7)(5)`

Since we have our 2 equations, the operation between them is subraction since we don't want the inner part. So the final equation or the answer
`(x+1)^(2) - (x-7)(5)`

Hope this helps! :D

Answer 2

x^2-3x+36

Explanation:

You just simplify (x+1)^(2)-(x-7)(5) and that's what you get. I'm doing the hw right now and it checked as right so trust me bestie :)
