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.
