A rectangular picture measuring 5 in. by 7 in. is surrounding by a frame with uniform width x. Write a quadratic function in standard form to show the combined area of the picture and frame.

(4x² + 24x + 35) in²

Step-by-step explanation:

(5+2x)(7+2x)

35 + 14x + 10x + 4x²

4x² + 24x + 35

A(x) = 4x² + 24x + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the rectangular frame.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The measurement of the rectangular picture is 5 in. by 7 in.

If the width is 5 inches, then the combined width of the picture and frame is 5 + x + x = (5 + 2x) inches

The combined length would be

7 + x + x = (7 + 2x) inches

Therefore, a quadratic function in standard form to show the combined area of the picture and frame would be

(5 + 2x)(7 + 2x)

35 + 10x + 14x + 4x²

A(x) = 4x² + 24x + 35

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
