Jeffrey is building a rectangular flower garden, width is "w" and length is w + 3. Write a a mathematical expression for the length and an algebraic expression for the area of the garden in binomial descending order.
What is 7/12 as a percent and decimal?
Area = w(w+3)
= w^2 + 3w
Please do not post a new question as a reply to another student's question.
Tutors will think the question has been answered and it could be overlooked
7 1/2 = 7.5 = 750%
7/12= .58= 58%. It doesn't say 7 1/2.
Jen, you are right, I should really put on my reading glasses when I do these.
To write a mathematical expression for the length of the garden, given that the width is "w" and the length is "w + 3", we can simply state:
Length = w + 3
To write an algebraic expression for the area of the garden, we multiply the length by the width. The width is given as "w", and the length is "w + 3". Therefore:
Area = (w)(w + 3)
Expanding the expression:
Area = w² + 3w
The algebraic expression for the area of the flower garden in binomial descending order is:
Area = w² + 3w
