It cannot be modeled with a rectangle.

Is your answer.

Kiana Stout · Answer 2

Prime polynomial are polynomials that cannot be factored into lower degree polynomials, they are also known as irreducible polynomial. Given our polynomial

2x²+3x+3

Is an irreducible polynomial because there is no way to find two integers such that their products is 3 and they also sum up to 3. This means we cannot factor it into linear terms (x+b) (x+c).

From the above we conclude that it cannot be modeled with a rectangle.
