Write a simplified polynomial expression in standard form to represent the area of the rectangle below: (See photo)

A. 2x^2 + 3x - 20
B. 2x^2 + 13x - 1
C. 2x^2 + 13x - 20
D. 2x^2 + 3x - 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × breadth

   = (2x - 5)(x + 4) ← expand using FOIL

   = 2x² + 8x - 5x - 20

  = 2x² + 3x - 20 → A
