Question

Write the polynomial which represents the perimeter of a triangle whose sides are represented

by 2x² + 3x, 5x²-1, and 3x² + 7x-1.
​

Answer 1

The polynomial is 10x^2 + 10x -2

Explanation:

To get the polynomial which represents the perimeter, what we need to do is to add up all

these values. We use the formula for finding the perimeter of a triangle and that involves adding up all the three sides. That would be;

2x^2 + 3x + 5x^2 -1 + 3x^2 + 7x -1

10x^2 + 3x -1 + 7x -1

10x^2 + 10x -2
