The length of a rectangle is 3 less than twice the width. Determine how the area will change if the length of the rectangle is increased by 5 and the width is decreased by 2. Show your work.

Respuesta :

The change in the area is represented by the expression ΔA = 9 · x + 4, where x is the original width of the rectangle.

What is the change in the area of the rectangle if side lengths are changed?

By geometry we know that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width (x) and length (y). Based on the statement, the original rectangle is equal to:

A = x · y

A = x · (2 · x - 3)

And the change in the area is:

A + ΔA = (x + Δx) · (y + Δy)

A + ΔA = x · y + Δx · y + Δy · x + Δx · Δy

ΔA = Δx · y + Δy · x + Δx · Δy

ΔA = (2 · x - 3) · Δx + Δy · x + Δx · Δy

ΔA = 2 · (2 · x - 3) + 5 · x + 10

ΔA = 9 · x + 4
