Answer:
Option B. A(x) = 69x² - 25x - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The given rectangular plot of land has the dimensions as
Length = (12x + 5) feet
Width = (7x -6) feet
Now area of the plot = Length × width = (12x + 5)×(7x - 6) = 12x(7x - 6) + 5(7x - 6) = 84x² - 72x + 35x - 30 = (84x² - 37x -30) feet²
Dimensions of vegetable patch are
Length = (5x - 4) feet
width = 3x feet
Area of vegetable patch = (5x - 4)(3x) = (15x² - 12x) feet²
Now area of the shaded part = Area of rectangular plot - Area of vegetable patch = (84x² - 37x - 30)-(15x² - 12x) = 84x² - 37x - 30 - 15x² + 12x = (69x²-25x -30) square feet
Now function that represents the area of shaded region will be
A(x) = 69x² - 25x - 30
Option B. is the answer.
