Question

In front of a school are several gardens in rectangular raised beds. For the area of the rectangular area given, use factoring to find the possible dimensions. Could the garden be square?
x2 – 4y2

  1. x – 2y, Square
  2. x + 2y by x - 2y, Rectangle
  3. x + 2y, Square
  4. x + 3y by x – 3y, Rectangle

hintHint:

Algebraic expressions are those that are modelled utilising unknowable constants, coefficients, and variables. A constant has a fixed value, whereas a variable can have any value since it is not fixed. An algebraic expression with three terms is called a trinomial. Here we have given that in front of the school are several gardens in rectangular raised beds. The area is x2 – 4y2, using factorisation, we have to find the possible dimensions.

The correct answer is: x + 2y by x - 2y, Rectangle


    Now we know that an algebraic expression known as a trinomial has three non-zero terms and more than one variable. An example of a binomial is a polynomial having two terms. It is in the form of ax2+bx, for example 5x4 - 4x
    We have also been given the trinomial here. The expression is: x2 – 4y2
    Now we can see that 4 is the square of 2, So we can re-write the given expression as:
    x2 – 4y= (x)2 - (2y)2
    Now we can use the formula: a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b), we get:

    x2 – 4y2 = (x)2 - (2y)= (x - 2y)(x + 2y)
    So, the side lengths are x + 2y and x – 2y. So, it has unequal length and width. Then it is a rectangle.

    Here we used the concept of algebriac equations, trinomials and squares to factories the given expression. An expression with variables, constants, and algebraic operations is known as an algebraic expression (like subtraction, addition, multiplication, etc.). Terms comprise expressions. So, the side lengths are x + 2y and x – 2y. So, it has unequal length and width. Then it is a rectangle.

    x2 + 32x + 256

    Here we used the concept of algebriac equations, trinomials and squares to factories the given expression. An expression with variables, constants, and algebraic operations is known as an algebraic expression (like subtraction, addition, multiplication, etc.). Terms comprise expressions. So the side length is (x + 16) and all the sides are equal in length. So, it is a square.
