it takes 68,000 solar cells, each 1.25 in. by 2.75 in., to power the Helios Prototype, shown at right. How much surface area, in square feet, must be covered in cells?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
