Question

A treasure chest has a volume of x3 + 9x2 + 26x + 24 cm3 and the height is x + 4 cm. Find the polynomial that would represent the area of the bottom of the treasure chest? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

oops, x^3+9x^2+26x.24 cm....

Answer 2

+24 **** for the end. sorry.

Answer 3

omg

Answer 4

jkjk

Answer 5

lol sorry :]

Answer 6

Its [x3 + 9x2 + 26x + 24] / [ x + 4]

because when you divide something by the height you make it 2D hence making it just length and width. The quotient of that represents the area (that is L X W).

Answer 7

ohhh, that makes so much sense. thank you

Answer 8

You should get \[x ^{2}+5x+6\] when you divide.
(x+4)(x+3)(x+2) are the factors of the volume.
