On a coordinate plane, a curved line with minimum values of (negative 0.5, negative 7) and (2.5, negative 1), and a maximum value of (1.5, 1), crosses the x-axis at (negative 1, 0), (1, 0), and (3, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 6).
which interval for the graphed function contains the local maximum?
[–1, 0]
[1, 2]
[2, 3]
[3, 4]

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
