What is the area of its base? 5) The area of a parallelogram is (2x² + 11x - 9) square units. If the length is given by (2x - 3) units, what expression represents its width? 6) If a car moving at a constant rate travels (2x³ - x² - 4x + 3) km in (x² - 2x + 1) hours, what is the rate of the car in km per hour? 7) A tailor earns (12y² + y - 35) pesos for working (3y - 5) hours. How much does he earn per hour?

Solution

Let's break down and solve the problems one by one from the image.


Activity 8: Apply Your Skills

  1. Problem 1:
    The total cost of (3a - 2b) units of cell phone is (6a² + 5ab - 6b²) pesos. What expression represents the cost of one cell phone?

    To find the cost of one cell phone, divide the total cost by the number of units: Cost of one cell phone=6a2+5ab6b23a2b\text{Cost of one cell phone} = \frac{6a^2 + 5ab - 6b^2}{3a - 2b}


  1. Problem 2:
    If one ream of bond paper costs (3x - 4) pesos, how many reams can you buy for (6x⁴ - 17x³ + 24x² - 34x + 24) pesos?

    To find the number of reams, divide the total money by the cost of one ream: Number of reams=6x417x3+24x234x+243x4\text{Number of reams} = \frac{6x^4 - 17x^3 + 24x^2 - 34x + 24}{3x - 4} Perform polynomial division to get the result.


  1. Problem 3:
    If a car covers (15x² + 7x - 2) km in (3x + 2) hours, what is the average speed in km/h?

    Average speed is given by distance divided by time: Average speed=15x2+7x23x+2\text{Average speed} = \frac{15x^2 + 7x - 2}{3x + 2} Perform polynomial division to find the average speed.


  1. Problem 4:
    **The volume of a rectangular solid is (x³ + 3x² + 2x - 5) cubic cm, and its height is (x + 1) cm. What is the area
