Exercise 22 Page 81

Use the formula for area with l = x^2+x-7 and w = 3x.

A=3x^3 + 3x^2 - 21x

Practice makes perfect
Recall that to find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply length times width. In this case, the length is l = x^2+x-7 and the width is w = 3x. Let's put those into our area equation and simplify.
A = l * w
A = ( x^2+x-7)( 3x)
A = 3x^3 + 3x^2 - 21x
