Here are some word problems that involve operations on polynomials:

Polynomial Word Problems

Problem 1: Area of a Rectangle

The length of a rectangle is represented by $3x + 2$ and the width is represented by $2x - 5$. Write a polynomial that represents the area of the rectangle.
Problem 2: Profit Calculation

A company’s profit $P(x)$ from selling a product is given by the polynomial $P(x) = 5x^2 + 3x - 4$, where $x$ represents the number of units sold. The company has additional fixed costs represented by the polynomial $C(x) = 2x^2 - x + 6$. Write a polynomial that represents the company’s net profit.
Problem 3: Volume of a Box

The dimensions of a rectangular box are given by $x + 1$, $x - 2$, and $x + 3$. Write a polynomial that represents the volume of the box.
Problem 4: Revenue Function

A store’s revenue from selling a certain product is given by $R(x) = 4x^2 + 7x + 3$, where $x$ is the number of units sold. If the store increases its prices, the new revenue function becomes $R'(x) = 6x^2 + 5x + 8$. Write a polynomial that represents the difference in revenue before and after the price increase.
Problem 5: Total Cost of Production

The cost of producing $x$ units of a product is given by $C(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - x + 7$. The company decides to add an additional feature to the product, which increases the cost by $3x^2 - 2x + 5$ per unit. Write a polynomial that represents the new total cost.
Problem 6: Perimeter of a Triangle

The sides of a triangle are represented by the polynomials $2x + 1$, $3x - 2$, and $x + 4$. Write a polynomial that represents the perimeter of the triangle.
Problem 7: Expansion of a Garden

A garden’s length is represented by $x + 5$ and its width is represented by $x - 3$. The owner decides to increase both the length and width by 2 units. Write a polynomial that represents the area of the expanded garden.
Problem 8: Revenue from Multiple Products

A company sells two products. The revenue from the first product is given by $R_1(x) = 4x^2 + 5x$ and the revenue from the second product is given by $R_2(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 6$. Write a polynomial that represents the total revenue from selling both products.
Problem 9: Quadratic Profit Model

The profit from selling a certain number of items is modeled by the polynomial $P(x) = -2x^2 + 4x + 6$. If the cost of production is given by $C(x) = 3x + 2$, write a polynomial that represents the company’s net profit.
Problem 10: Optimization of an Advertising Budget

The effectiveness of an advertising campaign is modeled by the polynomial $E(x) = 5x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x + 1$, where $x$ represents the number of ads placed. The company wants to compare this to another advertising strategy modeled by $E'(x) = 2x^3 + 4x^2 - x + 3$. Write a polynomial that represents the difference in effectiveness between the two strategies.

These word problems will require applying operations on polynomials, such as multiplication, addition, subtraction, or factoring, to solve real-world scenarios.
