Question

pl3 - la salle des profs
les profs de maths de ton centre de services scolaire ont décidé de réorganiser leur espace de travail. ils ont placé leurs bureaux de façon à obtenir un grand carré, comme illustré ci - dessous. ainsi, ils pourront se voir et se parler pendant quils travaillent fort pour taider dans ton cours!
le dessus de chaque bureau est un rectangle, dont laire est de $2x^{2}-9x - 4$ $dm^{2}$. tous les bureaux sont identiques.
pour compléter linstallation, les profs aimeraient acheter un tapis à placer sous les bureaux. ce tapis doit avoir les mêmes dimensions que le grand carré formé par les bureaux.
comme le prix du tapis dépend de la surface à couvrir, ils doivent calculer laire du tapis avant de pouvoir lacheter.
quelle expression algébrique représente laire du tapis à installer sous les bureaux des profs de maths?
laire du tapis est de ( $x^{2}$ ) $dm^{2}$.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of bureaux around the carré

From the diagram, we can see that there are 4 bureaux around the central square (carré). Wait, actually, let's count the number of bureaux: looking at the grid, the central square is surrounded by bureaux. Let's check the layout:

- Top row: 2 bureaux (left and right of the central square's top)
- Middle row: 2 bureaux (left and right of the central square)
- Bottom row: 2 bureaux (left and right of the central square's bottom)? Wait, no, maybe the central square is surrounded by 4 bureaux? Wait, the problem says "le grand carré forme par les bureaux" – wait, no, the tapis has the same dimensions as the grand carré formed by the bureaux. Wait, actually, the surface of the tapis is equal to the surface of the grand carré, which is made up of how many bureaux? Wait, the area of each bureau is \(2x^2 - 9x - 4\). Wait, maybe the grand carré is made up of 4 bureaux? No, wait, let's re-express. Wait, the problem says "la surface du tapis doit avoir les mêmes dimensions que le grand carré forme par les bureaux". So we need to find how many bureaux form the grand carré. Looking at the diagram, the central square is surrounded by bureaux, and the grand carré (tapis) is the same as the area of the central square? No, wait, maybe the grand carré is made up of 4 bureaux? Wait, no, let's check the area of each bureau: \(A_{bureau} = 2x^2 - 9x - 4\). Wait, maybe the grand carré (tapis) is equal to the area of 4 bureaux? Wait, no, let's look at the diagram again. The layout:

- Top: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Middle: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Bottom: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Wait, no, the central square is in the middle, and around it, there are 4 bureaux? Wait, maybe the grand carré (tapis) is the area of 4 bureaux? Wait, no, the problem says "le grand carré forme par les bureaux" – so the tapis has the same area as the grand carré, which is formed by the bureaux. Wait, maybe the number of bureaux forming the grand carré is 4? Wait, let's check the expression. Wait, the area of the tapis is \( (\quad)x^2 + (\quad)x + (\quad) \). Wait, the area of each bureau is \(2x^2 - 9x - 4\). If the grand carré (tapis) is made up of 4 bureaux? No, wait, maybe the grand carré is a square, and the bureaux are rectangles around it. Wait, maybe the number of bureaux is 4? Wait, let's think again. Wait, the problem is in French: "le grand carré forme par les bureaux" – the grand square formed by the bureaux. So the tapis has the same area as that grand square. So we need to find the number of bureaux that form the grand square. Looking at the diagram, the central square is surrounded by 4 bureaux (top, bottom, left, right). So the area of the tapis is 4 times the area of one bureau? Wait, no, 4 times? Wait, no, let's check the area of each bureau: \(A_{bureau} = 2x^2 - 9x - 4\). If the grand carré (tapis) is made up of 4 bureaux, then \(A_{tapis} = 4 \times (2x^2 - 9x - 4)\). Wait, no, 4 times? Wait, 4 times \(2x^2\) is \(8x^2\), but the answer is supposed to be a quadratic in \(x^2\), \(x\), and constant. Wait, maybe the number of bureaux is 4? Wait, no, let's compute \(4 \times (2x^2 - 9x - 4)\):

\(4 \times 2x^2 = 8x^2\)

\(4 \times (-9x) = -36x\)

\(4 \times (-4) = -16\)

So \(A_{tapis} = 8x^2 - 36x - 16\)? But that doesn't match. Wait, maybe the number of bureaux is 1? No, that can't be. Wait, maybe the grand carré is the same as the area of 4 bureaux? Wait, no, maybe the diagram shows that the grand carré is formed by 4 bureaux. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the area of each bureau is \(2x^2 - 9x - 4\). If the tapis is the grand carré formed by 4 bureaux, then the area is \(4(2x^2 - 9x - 4) = 8x^2 - 36x - 16\). But the problem's answer is a quadratic, so maybe the number of bureaux is 4? Wait, but let's check the coefficients. Wait, maybe the grand carré is formed by 4 bureaux, so:

\(4 \times (2x^2 - 9x - 4) = 8x^2 - 36x - 16\)

But the problem's blank is \( (\quad)x^2 + (\quad)x + (\quad) \), so the coefficient of \(x^2\) is 8, coefficient of \(x\) is -36, constant term is -16. But maybe I miscounted the number of bureaux. Wait, looking at the diagram:

- Top row: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Middle row: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Bottom row: 2 bureaux (left and right)
- Wait, no, the central square is in the middle, and around it, there are 4 bureaux? Wait, maybe the grand carré is a square with side equal to the length of the bureau's side, but no. Wait, maybe the number of bureaux is 4, so the area of the tapis is 4 times the area of one bureau. So:

\(4 \times (2x^2 - 9x - 4) = 8x^2 - 36x - 16\)

So the expression for the area of the tapis is \(8x^2 - 36x - 16\). Wait, but let's check the quadratic. The area of each bureau is \(2x^2 - 9x - 4\), and if there are 4 bureaux, then:

\(4 \times 2x^2 = 8x^2\)

\(4 \times (-9x) = -36x\)

\(4 \times (-4) = -16\)

So the area of the tapis is \(8x^2 - 36x - 16\) square decimeters.

Step2: Verify the calculation

Multiply the area of one bureau by the number of bureaux (4):

\(4(2x^2 - 9x - 4) = 4 \times 2x^2 + 4 \times (-9x) + 4 \times (-4) = 8x^2 - 36x - 16\)

So the coefficients are 8 (for \(x^2\)), -36 (for \(x\)), and -16 (constant term).

Answer:

The area of the tapis is \(8x^2 - 36x - 16\) \(dm^2\). So the expression is \(8x^2 - 36x - 16\), so the coefficients are 8 (for \(x^2\)), -36 (for \(x\)), and -16 (constant). If we need to fill in the blanks: \(8x^2 - 36x - 16\), so the first blank (coefficient of \(x^2\)) is 8, the second (coefficient of \(x\)) is -36, and the third (constant) is -16.
