Zorluk: KolayMultiplying Polynomials

Determine the missing coefficient in the area expression.

Cevap:A rectangle has a length of (3x−4)(3x - 4) units and a width of (x+6)(x + 6) units. The area of the rectangle can be represented by the expanded polynomial 3x2+【14】x−243x^2 + 【14】x - 24 square units.

Cevap

14
The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width: (3x−4)(x+6)(3x - 4)(x + 6). Distributing the terms, the outer product is 18x18x and the inner product is −4x-4x. Combining these like terms (18x−4x18x - 4x) results in 14x14x. Therefore, the missing coefficient for the xx term is 14.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the multiplication for the area of the rectangle.
(3x−4)(x+6)(3x - 4)(x + 6)
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length and its width.
2
Multiply the binomials using the distributive property.
3x2+18x−4x−243x^2 + 18x - 4x - 24
Each term in the first binomial must be multiplied by each term in the second binomial.
3
Combine the like terms containing the xx variable.
18x−4x=14x18x - 4x = 14x
Simplifying the expression requires combining terms that share the same variable and exponent.
