Juan has a rectangular corral for his horses. The length of his horse corral is 10 ft longer than 3 times its width. Jeremiah has a rectangular corral for his cattle. The length of his cattle corral is 8 ft longer than 4 times its width. Both corrals have the same width. Let x represent this width, in feet.

1. Write a polynomial, in standard form, for each of the following. Show your work. Classify each polynomial by its degree and by its number of terms.
(a) the perimeter of each corral
(b) the difference between the perimeters of Jeremiah’s and Juan’s corrals
(c) the area of each corral
(d) the sum of the areas of both corrals

We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
However I will start you out.

L = 3x + 10
L = 4x + 8

1a. 2x + 2(3x+10) = perimeter of Juan
