Question

Enter a simplified polynomial expression for the area of a parallelogram whose base is (x + 8) units and whose height is (x − 2) units.

The area of the parallelogram is ? square units.

Answer 1

(x+8)(x-2) = a

a = x^2 -2x + 8x - 16

Area = x^2 + 6x - 16

Answer 2

`\\x^(2)`+6x-16

Explanation:

x^2 is exponent 2.
