Answer:

  -10x^3 -27x^2 -9x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The tablet area is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW

  A = (-5x^2 -x -2)(2x +5) = 2x(-5x^2 -x -2) +5(-5x^2 -x -2)

  A = -10x^3 -2x^2 -4x -25x^2 -5x -10

  A = -10x^3 +(-2-25)x^2 +(-4 -5)x -10

  A = -10x^3 -27x^2 -9x -10 . . . . area of Jocelyn's tablet

Additional comment

The polynomial describing the length is never positive, so makes no sense as a length value. The only way to obtain a positive area is for both dimensions (length and width) to be negative.
