Respuesta :
Draw a square with 4 equal sides that are 6 inches long. Then draw a small square on a corner of your drawn square. A(x) = 36 - A^2
a being the area of the smaller square
A^2= area of a square.
a being the area of the smaller square
A^2= area of a square.
Answer:
[tex]A(x) = 36-4x^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Side of original Square = 6 inches
Area of square = [tex]Side^2[/tex]
Area of square = [tex]6^2[/tex]
            =[tex]36 inches^2[/tex]
Now we are given that A small square, x inches on each side, is cut out from each corner of the original square
Area of small square = [tex]Side^2 = x^2[/tex]
Original square has four corners
So, Area 4 small squares = [tex]4x^2[/tex]
Let the remaining area be A(x)
So, Remaining area = Original Area - Area of 4 small squares
[tex]\Rightarrow A(x) = 36-4x^2[/tex]
Hence the area of the remaining portion of the square in the form of a polynomial function A(x) Â is [tex]A(x) = 36-4x^2[/tex]
