Answer:
[tex]A=2\cdot{x^2}+14\cdot{x}+24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write down the total size of the wildflower after the third week.
[tex]L=2\cdot{(3+x)[/tex]
[tex]W=2\cdot{(2+0.5\cdot{x})}[/tex]
The size can be determined assuming it is a rectangle and therefore the area is:
[tex]A=L\cdot{W}[/tex]
[tex]A=4\cdot{(3+x)\cdot{(2+0.5\cdot{x})}}[/tex]
[tex]A=2\cdot{x^2}+14\cdot{x}+24[/tex]
