# Thread: stuck on this question A(x)=x2

1. ## stuck on this question A(x)=x2

i need help with pre cal...stuck on this question.
A(x)=x2 where A(x) is the area of a square with sides of length X

any help would be much appreciated

Where is the question?

3. i quess that is the question...on my homework paper under number 3
that's all my teacher gave me for question 3.

A(x)=x2 square, where A(x) is the area of a square with sides of length x.

4. sorry i'm new to this board...still learning

5. That's not a question, that's a statement.

There must be more. Perhaps there are several questions below, all of which apply to that square, or perhaps there was a single question above, with the square being one problem for which you are to answer that question.

But as it stands now, you simply don't have a question.

6. ## Interpreting

I'm assuming that the problem is $\displaystyle x^2 = 2x$ where you need to solve for x. Then this becomes:

$\displaystyle x^2 - 2x = 0$ and the rest you should know how to do.

7. I don't. Since "A= x2", I think he meant "A= x^2", just giving the formula for area of a square with side of length x. We still don't know what he wants to do with that formula.
