Study Notes

Excavated Area

Area to be excavated has dimensions of ( (x + 4) ) feet for both length and width.
The formula for the area of excavation is ( A(x) = x^2 + 8x + 16 ).

Perfect-Square Trinomial

The area of the outdoor fireplace represents a perfect-square trinomial.
Squaring the binomial ( (x + 4)^2 ) results in ( A(x) = x^2 + 8x + 16 ).

Pascal's Triangle

Pascal's Triangle relates to the coefficients of a binomial raised to the nth power.
The coefficients of row n correspond to terms in the expansion of ( (a + b)^n ).

Understanding of Products

Using algebra tiles, a product of a yellow (positive) and red (negative) tile results in a red tile.
Multiplying two tiles of the same color yields a tile of that color.

Multiplication of Binomials

Formulas for perfect square trinomials:
- ( (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 )
- ( (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 )

Example Calculations

Example: ( (3x + 2y)^2 ) expands to ( 9x^2 + 12xy + 4y^2 ).
Example: ( (x - 5)^2 ) expands to ( x^2 - 10x + 25 ).

Area of Rug with Border

Original rug has a side length of ( (x - 5) ) feet.
Side length including the border becomes ( (x + 5) ) feet.
Area of the border can be represented as an expression derived from the total area minus the original rug area.

Importance of Diagrams

Diagrams help visualize dimensions and relationships, aiding problem-solving efforts in geometry and area calculations.
