Answer:
A: [tex]-w^{2}+6w+17[/tex]
B: [tex]5w^{2}+14w+7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the area of Jocelyn's village is represented by the polynomial [tex]2w^{2}+10w+12[/tex]. The area of Lorlesha's village is represented by the polynomial [tex]3w^{2}+4w-5[/tex], where w represents the width, in meters of their Town hall.
A: To find the expression that will represent the additional area of Jocelyn's village, we will subtract the total area of Lorlesha's village from the total area of Jocelyn's village.
[tex]\text{Additional area of Jocelyn's village}=2w^{2}+10w+12-(3w^{2}+4w-5)[/tex]
Let us distribute negative sign to simplify our expression.
[tex]\text{Additional area of Jocelyn's village}=2w^{2}+10w+12-3w^{2}-4w+5[/tex]
Upon combining like terms we will get,
[tex]\text{Additional area of Jocelyn's village}=2w^{2}-3w^{2}+10w--4w+12+5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Additional area of Jocelyn's village}=(2-3)w^{2}+(10-4)w+12+5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Additional area of Jocelyn's village}=-w^{2}+6w+17[/tex]
Therefore, the expression that represents the additional area Jocelyn's village is [tex]-w^{2}+6w+17[/tex].
B: To find the expression that represents the combined total area of their villages we will add areas of Jocelyn's and Larlesha's village.
[tex]\text{Combined total area}=2w^{2}+10w+12+(3w^{2}+4w-5)[/tex]
Upon combining like terms we will get,
[tex]\text{Combined total area}=2w^{2}+3w^{2}+10w+4w+12-5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Combined total area}=(2+3)w^{2}+(10+4)w+12-5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Combined total area}=5w^{2}+14w+7[/tex]
Therefore the expression represents the combined total area of their villages is [tex]5w^{2}+14w+7[/tex].
