When one side of a square is represented by (n + 4), the area is obtained by squaring this expression: (n + 4)^2. Expanding it gives n^2 + 8n + 16, which is the polynomial expression for the area .

To subtract (5x^2 + 3x + 6) from (2x^2 – 3x + 7), subtract the corresponding polynomial terms: x^2 terms: 2x^2 - 5x^2 = -3x^2; x terms: -3x - 3x = -6x; constant terms: 7 - 6 = 1. The result of the subtraction is -3x^2 - 6x + 1 .

The area of a rectangle with sides 2x – 1 and 3x + 2 is computed by multiplying these sides. Expanding (2x – 1)(3x + 2) gives 6x^2 from 2x*3x, -2x from -1*2x, 4x from 2x*2, and -2 from -1*2. The polynomial for the area is then simplified to 6x^2 + (4x - 2x) - 2, resulting in 6x^2 + 2x - 2 .

To simplify the expression (3x^2 – 4x – 1) + (8x^2 – x + 6), you first add the coefficients of like terms. This process involves adding the x^2 terms (3x^2 + 8x^2 = 11x^2), the x terms (-4x - 1x = -5x), and the constant terms (-1 + 6 = 5). Thus, the simplified form is 11x^2 - 5x + 5 .

To simplify 4(a + 5) – 5(a^2 – 4a + 7), first distribute inside both expressions: 4a + 20 and -5a^2 + 20a - 35. Subtract the second expression from the first: 4a + 20 - 5a^2 + 20a - 35. Combine like terms: -5a^2 + (4a + 20a) = 24a + 20 - 35 = -15. The simplified expression is -5a^2 + 24a - 15 .

To simplify (8y + 6) – 6(y^2 – 6y + 4), distribute 6 into the second polynomial: 6y^2 - 36y + 24. Subtract these from the first polynomial, 8y + 6, giving -6y^2 + (8y + 36y) - 24 + 6. Combine like terms to get -6y^2 + 44y - 18 as the final simplified result .

Subtracting (x^2 - 3x + 4) from (3x^2 + 2x + 1) involves subtracting each corresponding term. For the x^2 terms: 3x^2 - x^2 = 2x^2; for the x terms: 2x - (-3x) = 5x; and for the constant terms: 1 - 4 = -3. Therefore, the result is 2x^2 + 5x - 3 .

The FOIL method involves multiplying the terms in a specific sequence: First, multiply the first terms: x * x = x^2. Next, the Outer terms: x * (-12) = -12x. Then, the Inner terms: 3 * x = 3x. Finally, the Last terms: 3 * (-12) = -36. Adding these results together gives x^2 - 12x + 3x - 36, which simplifies to x^2 - 9x - 36 .

Expanding (x - 10)(x - 10) gives x^2 - 10x - 10x + 100, resulting in x^2 - 20x + 100. This expression is a perfect square trinomial since it represents the square of a binomial .

To express the area of a rectangle with sides 2x - 1 and 3x + 2 as a polynomial, multiply the expressions for the sides. Using distributive property, (2x - 1)(3x + 2) expands to: 2x*3x = 6x^2, 2x*2 = 4x, -1*3x = -3x, and -1*2 = -2. Combine these, the polynomial for the area is 6x^2 + 4x - 3x - 2 = 6x^2 + x - 2 .
