Find the area of a rectangle with length 2x^2 + 5xy + 5y^2 and breadth x^2 - xy + 6y^2.

Solution

The problem asks for the area of a rectangle with given length and breadth.

  • Length L=2x2+5xy+5y2L = 2x^2 + 5xy + 5y^2
  • Breadth B=x2xy+6y2B = x^2 - xy + 6y^2

The area AA of a rectangle is calculated as:

A=Length×BreadthA = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth}

Now, we need to multiply these two expressions:

A=(2x2+5xy+5y2)×(x2xy+6y2)A = (2x^2 + 5xy + 5y^2) \times (x^2 - xy + 6y^2)

I'll expand this product step-by-step.

Step 1: Distribute the terms from the first expression over the second

A=2x2(x2xy+6y2)+5xy(x2xy+6y2)+5y2(x2xy+6y2)A = 2x^2(x^2 - xy + 6y^2) + 5xy(x^2 - xy + 6y^2) + 5y^2(x^2 - xy + 6y^2)

Step 2: Multiply each term

  1. 2x2(x2xy+6y2)=2x42x3y+12x2y22x^2(x^2 - xy + 6y^2) = 2x^4 - 2x^3y + 12x^2y^2
  2. 5xy(x2xy+6y2)=5x3y5x2y2+30xy35xy(x^2 - xy + 6y^2) = 5x^3y - 5x^2y^2 + 30xy^3
  3. 5y2(x2xy+6y2)=5x2y25xy3+30y45y^2(x^2 - xy + 6y^2) = 5x^2y^2 - 5xy^3 + 30y^4

Step 3: Combine all terms

A=2x42x3y+12x2y2+5x3y5x2y2+30xy3+5x2y25xy3+30y4A = 2x^4 - 2x^3y + 12x^2y^2 + 5x^3y - 5x^2y^2 + 30xy^3 + 5x^2y^2 - 5xy^3 + 30y^4

Step 4: Simplify by combining like terms

A=2x4+(5x3y2x3y)+(12x2y25x2y2+5x2y2)+(30xy35xy3)+30y4A = 2x^4 + (5x^3y - 2x^3y) + (12x^2y^2 - 5x^2y^2 + 5x^2y^2) + (30xy^3 - 5xy^3) + 30y^4

A=2x4+3x3y+12x2y2+25xy3+30y4A = 2x^4 + 3x^3y + 12x^2y^2 + 25xy^3 + 30y^4

Thus, the area of the rectangle is:

A=2x4+3x3y+12x2y2+25xy3+30y4A = 2x^4 + 3x^3y + 12x^2y^2 + 25xy^3 + 30y^4
