Question

so she can test various sizes, jessica is using polynomials to represent the dimensions. the solar panels have a width of (4c^2 + 5c) and a length of (7c - 3) and will be able to lie flat on the roof of the coop. the coops height is represented by (2c + 6d).

use this information to solve the following problems.

part a

jessica wants to add a border around the edge of the solar panels to help protect them from weather events.

write the standard form expression that represents the amount of border material jessica will need.

enter the correct answer in the box.

Explanation:

Set up the perimeter formula

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Substitute the polynomial expressions

$$ P = 2(4c^2 + 5c) + 2(7c - 3) $$

Simplify to standard form

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

Write the standard form expression that represents the amount of border material Jessica will need.
