Find a polynomial that represents the area of the shaded region.

Answer:
[tex](x^{2} +6x+8)-(x^{2} )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of Green including the white area:
[tex](x+4)(x+2)[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} +6x+8[/tex]
Area of White area is:
[tex]x^{2}[/tex]
Area of Green without white would be:
[tex](x^{2} +6x+8)-(x^{2} )[/tex]
